What is UP with gas prices in the North Hills?

Gas Prices

The GetGo on Babcock Blvd. and Ben Avon Heights Road along with several other stations in the North Hills raised their prices drastically Saturday and Sunday. In the case of the Babcock Blvd GetGo they went from $3.34 Friday up to $3.59 on Sat, a 25 cent per gallon increase in 1 day. According to their website, GetGo is selling gas at its East McKeesport station for $3.29 a full 30 cents less than what they are charging North Hills residents. Nothing in the world has happend to cause such a drastic increase and there wasnt a new tax on gas passed in the North Hills so the only explanation is GREED. Several gas stations in Ross and West View are still selling their gas for $3.37 to $3.39 a gallon. Forget the Fuel Perks and Pump Perks and buy your gas where its cheapest.  If the gas sits in their tanks they will have to lower their prices.
