Merry Christmas you lousy greedy bastards.

You will find most people here are confirmed, "supply and demand" capitalists.

I lost my virginity on that economic program long years ago.

Like usually, you ignore the facts. It is speculation that is driving prices up, not supply and demand.

No, it is market manipulation driving prices up, and it has to do with artificially restricting the supply.

The Big Oil Companies are not in the Oil Business they are in the Oil Shortage Business.

Speculators and manipulators at work.

Gas consumption is down, price is up.

Supply and demand at work, the democratic way. We got it, you gonna pay for it, one market, no competition .

Amazing, five gas stations, five different companies, their prices ALL go up the same day. Same price, one would almost think there was collusion, but thats not possible, is it????

Nope, not possible, that'd be price fixing and it's against the law. Must just be a coincidence.

Go back to sleep OM, nothing to see here.

The odd part is, one of the stations is just across the line in NY state and their tax on a gallon of gas is 5 cents more than Pa.

Someone is eating the five cents and still making a profit.

It's been my experience that the stations with the lower tax are just tacking on another $.05 profit, because they can.

What is really odd, we often see the same truck delivering to two or three different stations.

No names on the trucks.

I spect we are being swindled, again, still, more.
