dont let that trick youits incredibly difficult to explain and adequately understand.say youre on a sunday afternoon drive，and notice a gas station near you charging $3.50.down the road a few miles，that price could easily be 10 or more cents higher or lower.the question is “how” or “why” is that？think of it this way.are you more likely to get a better deal on a car if there are two similar car dealers next to each other？perhaps，because the dealers are too close.say there is a third similar car dealer miles away.is he going to be at the same level of competition and sell his cars for the same price as the two dealers next to each other？likely not.he may charge more or less.maybe people dont know there are two other dealers down the road.maybe the dealer is almost outside of the city and the land value isnt as high，so his taxes arent as high.these situations do take place at gas stations.and more factors can impact what a station will charge.timing can greatly impact what price a station charges as well！many motorists fail to realize that the price a station pays for gasoline changes daily.if one station gets lucky and buys gas on monday and the cost goes up tuesday，the station that bought gas on monday doesnt necessarily have to raise prices like the station that bought gas on tuesday.maybe the station that got caught buying for a higher price on tuesday will pass that higher cost on by raising its gas price.perhaps the difference is what brand the station isbranded stations usually pay a slightly higher cost for their gasoline.in return for paying a higher cost，those stations are guaranteed first supply in case of emergency situations.independent stations dont pay as much，but arent guaranteed supply.while competition sounds easy to understand，there are always a large number of factors that could influence what one station charges.keep in mind how many variables(变数)there are next time you fill up.【语篇解读】本文作者告诉我们：诸多因素影响着加油站之间油价的不同加油站的地理位置，销售时间，加油站的进油时间，加油站的品牌以及加油站之间的竞争等。6what could be the best title for the passage?ahow competition impacts gas pricesbgas prices go up or downccompetitiona very
