" That's not surprising to me, groceries and gasoline must be the most 
" competitive items in the American market.  People are fanatical about 
" saving a nickel on milk and eggs, or a penny or two on a gallon of gas, 
" and will drive all over town to do it.  Personally, I don't get it, save 
" a nickel per gallon on gas, and even to fill my tank, that only 
" translates to $1.  Convenience is worth a dollar to me. 

true, but it's amazing sometimes how lazy folks can be.  there's a
convenience mart a block from my house that sells stuff like milk, but
just the other side of the river - a distance i can -walk- in less
than 10m, and that includes the crosswalk - there's a major
supermarket that has the same milk for half the price.

there's a drugstore next to the convenience mart, and another one in
the -same-chain- next to the supermkt.  and they're both big; one used
to be a car dealer.
