I agree that the situation, while displaying disparities such as this more often than I would like, is preferable over no choice in the matter. <br /><br />The arrival of other companies in the area such as Bradley Sinclair and Western Convenience have helped to offer a choice in pricing, but it would still be nice to know why one company has to sell what is basically the same gas over 10 percent higher than the other guy. <br /><br />I think it would be an interesting business news piece, exploring what costs and other factors affect the two stores, and how that translates into such a pricing disparity at such a close proximity.<br /><br />Maybe I'll just have to try my hand at it.John Linkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288629157356856873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34546262.post-81063206878787202782009-05-14T14:27:00.000-04:002009-05-14T14:27:00.000-04:00John,

I think the simple fact is retailers, of gas or anything else, can charge what they want for their product. For all of them to get together and decide on a price, I believe, is known as price fixing and as frowned upon by the federal government.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11348357855495645983noreply@blogger.com
