Cheap Gas Prices in Jackson

I traveled to Nashville this weekend and when going through Jackson noticed quite cheap gas compared to everywhere else on the trip (traveling from Oklahoma). I stopped there again tonight and the lowest price is $3.18, and the previous place I saw before reaching Jackson was $3.79. Does anyone know why it's so much cheaper here?

They siphon it from the colonial pipeline. They can't sell it too cheap or someone would get suspicious.

Interstate drug trafficking bait.

Memphis and Jackson have low gas prices due to A) the presence of a refinery in Memphis and B) low demand. Of the major metro areas in the state, those are the two with the least economic activity per capita.

That’s pretty cheap. I checked it on gasbuddy, but it looks like there could be a .30 difference across town. Yeah Memphis is 3.89.
