The only apparent reason is marketing purposes.

Lee Highway in Arlington between Harrison and Lexington Streets has 5 stations and they all appear to me to have the cheapest brand-name gas this side of Woodbridge.
I came down Lee Highway tonight: Premium ranged from $3.059 at an Exxon at Westmoreland Street to 2.919 at the Sunoco. Most were $2.979.
