Experts say it comes down to a few key factors, according to KTLA sister station WBOY.CompetitionWhen it comes to gas being cheaper across the street, AAA East Central's Public and Legislative Affairs Manager Jim Garrity said pricing is primarily a tactic to get you to spend money at the convenience store, not the pump."[Gas stations] make the majority of their profits in the concession and then the convenience stores that they operate," Garrity said. "Gas stations do not actually make much at the pump." Gas prices surge to almost $6 per gallon in Los Angeles area If a gas station is just slightly farther away from another station, it might cut its gas prices to get people to go just a little bit further to spend money there instead.
