Because they know which metro areas have higher-income people, and they charge accordingly.

Go to Colorado, and compare the gas in downtown Denver, to the ones in Vail or Aspen. It's always like a full dollar difference. Why? Because they know people up there have money, and have no other choice.

Go to a gas station right off the freeway or right next to the airport, and they'll charge at least 25 cents more than the other stations in your city. You pay for convenience.
