Observations...

Why are Grove's gasoline prices so much higher than Joplin, Bartlesville or Tulsa? We've watched this phenomenon all summer with Grove prices as much as 20 cents higher per gallon. It continues, with prices in Grove at $2.85 Wednesday (down from $2.99) with Tulsa's at $2.74. We've noticed that prices here jump up quickly, but come down very slowly…This Week's Rumor Department: Rumor #1: The City Manager has started work on the proposed cemetery location north of the city even though Council has not voted on a site as yet.
Answer: A concrete pad is being built for the Grove Police Dept at its pistol range, near the proposed North cemetery site.
Rumor #2: The city manager opposes Chili's restaurant coming to town. Answer: He is actually working to bring Chili's to Grove plus another chain restaurant.
If you have Rumors you want checked out, please send your Rumor to Rumor Manager, The Grove Observer, at groveobserver@yahoo.com…

I am curious. Does our 8.9 percent city sales tax account for this difference in price?

It is my opinion that the only taxes levied on gasoline are Federal and State taxes...not local sales taxes.
