And then they price fix the gas price between towns. A different city just 10 miles away with the same chain of gas station has a different price, because all gas stations in that town have the same price (give or take a penny).

That should be illegal.

And how come is it that gas magically gets more expensive over the weekend or holidays?

If my fuzzy memory serves me correct, in Germany a gas station is not allowed to raise the price of gas faster and wait longer to lower the price if changes need to be made.
