Bargain gas for $3.65?

 

 It seems strange that searching for, and finding, 'bargain' gas selling for $3.67 is worthy of standing in line. It could be worse, and it might be eventually.

On York's side of the Susquehanna River, gasoline is selling for $3.87. Just a few miles away, on the Lancaster side, it's as cheap as $3.65, making for long lines. It's still not worth driving from York to save 22 cents a gallon, but if you're in that neighborhood, it's something to consider. Why is it that much cheaper just 15 minutes away?

To check area gas prices, the Gas Buddy app on smart phones is a good place to start. To be clear, some York stations are the same price as the highest price Lancaster stations, but generally, Lancaster's are about 20 cents cheaper. 

This particular station was at the Giant on Fruitville Pike was $3.67. The Giant on Pauline Drive in York Township was $3.85.
