How do you calculate these prices?
Every price is a recorded price from a real order or a periodic re-check, stamped with when we captured it — nothing here is scraped live. The store side of every comparison also carries the trip: 11 miles round trip at 26 mpg plus 52 minutes of your time. You can change every assumption on the trip cost calculator.
