It is nothing but price gouging and every holiday or special event that happens in this area, there is a notice in the local newspaper warning the gas stations about the penalty for price gouging.
That's the thing that irks me the most,far too big of price range from one store to the next,prices just donot flucuate that much when a barrel of oil has not.We were only paying $2.80 a gallon for gas not long ago for the same price a barrel of oil cost recently.
