Petrol prices have shot up again!

Gone up 3ppl at my local Sainsbury's but they haven loads of competition, Morrisons and 2 private garages close by, keeps the price down for certain.
Two other Sainsbury's that are with about 8 miles of my local one are at least 7ppl more expensive and guess what no completion close by, pure profiteering clear as day

What I can never understand is why there are often huge differences in prices at garages only a few miles apart. :?
I was staying with a friend in Cheshire for a couple of days after Zedfest and I used the Applegreen garage in Frodsham on Sunday as it's always the cheapest around and their Regular fuel was £1.489 (although I put their E5 in my Z). The Shell in Halton was £1.509!
Then on Monday we went over the bridge to Widnes and Morrisons Regular was £1.387 with Tesco at £1.389.
It just doesn't seem to make sense to me. :?
It wouldn't have helped me much though as I would have had to pay the charge for the bridge.
