How much do you want to bet? Say, $5000? So much for U.S. anti-trust laws. Yup...keeping prices to retailers high will really help their sales, and running their retailers out of business will help, too. Here's a dollar: buy a clue. Send $100 to my paypal account so I can buy a really big one! I suspect, based on your original comment, that even the $1.00 would be a waste, given that you don't comprehend something that a business student in their first semester understands. |

"Robert M. Gary" wrote in message oups.com... What country do you live in? In the U.S. they are not guilty of price fixing until so determined by a court of law. Being charged with something does not equal being guilty (at least in the U.S.) My wife noticed after the elections in November that the price of gasoline at the stations around our house dropped, uniformly, one dime per gallon within two days after the election. We chalked it off to coincidence, but, it was a perfect dime, not nine cents, eleven cents, etc. Maybe it's nothing, but if the stations are calling foul, it's worth listening to. -c |

And then a couple months later they shot up (from around $2.10/gal) and eventually ened up nearly a dollar higher at around $3.10. I wish those collusionists would make up their mind. |

It was widely believed that the gas stations here (El Dorado AR) were talking and pretty much setting the price of gas in town. The price here was usually about 4 or 5 cents higher in surrounding towns even though the refinery is here. The lo-cal newspaper started printing, each week the average price here and from other cities that are located within about 100 or 150 miles of us. The first couple of weeks our average price was higher. Now we are either at or below the neighboring towns. It wasn't BIG OIL doing the price fixing if it was happening. |

You've probably seen this website, but isn't it interesting: here in my neighborhood, there's 15 cents difference just on this side of town. http://autos.msn.com/everyday/GasSta...82009&x=12&y=7 Note #1 and #21 - both Conoco, and 9 cents difference. And #1 is right at the freeway (typically more expensive), #21 is "in town". -- Matt Barrow Performance Homes, LLC. Cheyenne, WY |

I love how in the minds of some the GOP sit around and try to figure out how to set prices of gas in BFD City, Iowa in order to fix an election! -Robert |
