As a retired chemist who used to run HPLC and GC a lot, it has that sharp increase at the front of the peak and a LOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGG tail on the back end.

What I noticed happens around here is that when you have main thoroughfares with many gas stations along the route, they all pretty much price fix to around the same (high) price. You have to go to stations far away from those thoroughfares to find the cheaper prices.
