My friend is called supply and demand good luck
Prices change because during the week is one price and the weekend is another. It also varies on the months if there is community events where people come from out of town just to go to the event that changes pricing. In Emporia there is the Pork Festival, the Peanut Festival, graduation, family reunion, and so on so those things have an effect on pricing as well.
