I don’t know about that. I live in a small city, but it’s a depressed community. Gas here has been under $3.00. This weekend, we went to visit my mother in a slightly larger city, but it is a desirable city, and gas was over $3.10.
So it’s not really all about urban and rural. There are urban areas people want to live in and there are urban areas that people are less interested in living in and the latter are also cheaper despite being urban.
I just looked at a good example. Gary, IN and Chicago, IL.
According to Gas Buddy, gas in Gary is around $2.75/gallon. Gas in Chicago is around $3.10/gallon. Gary definitely counts as urban.
Meanwhile, nearby but rural Winamac, IN (I picked it at random)- $3.10. Same as Chicago.
Gas prices very wildly from location to location, and probably aren’t a good indicator.
