![A small town has only two gas stations, Chevron and Shell. Daily, each station must
simultaneously display their prices, choosing between a high price and low price. Assume
both firms know their potential payoffs and this is a one-time game (both firms are only
interested in today's profit). The payoff matrix for this game, showing potential daily
profit, is displayed below.
