Any idea why AC/MVM are so high?!

Why you say? Because they can.

Our gas prices in Alton gas stations are generally 15-20 cents higher than in communities south and west. Is it worth driving from Alton to Concord to get gas at Sam's, then drive home to save 20 cents per gallon times 8 gallons ($1.60)(35 minutes each way). Probably not. But if we go down to Beaver Meadow GC in Concord, then go to Makris in Concord for lunch, it's easy enough to stop at Sam's for gas.

Sooooooo, should you pay the high prices at AC/MVM or pull your watercraft, which you don't like, when you get gas, why not monitor your gas, and enjoy a nice ride enroute to cheaper gas, then combine it with a road less traveled on the way home.

Seems like a no brainer
