But, even the "Amerika" brand gas station which gets it's gas from the local refinary or Port for us in South Florida cost the same as the name brand. It has more to do with the zip code then the brand.

The most expensive gas in Miami seams to be located in Miami Lakes, while the cheapest is in Hialeah.
Chevron Miami Lakes (Richer Area) $4.37
U-Gas Hialeah (Less afluent) $3.75
I know that for some $0.25 a gallon equates to a $2.50 savings by going to the lowest price pump. Don't go into a bad area to save a buck, it's not worth the $2.50 or even $6.20 from the example above. Your life is worth more then $2.50.
