It's called the market price. Stations change the price based on the
market prices of crude oil, refined unleaded, and what the local market
will pay. These prices change day to day, hence the prices change.
Prime example... I sell you an ounce of gold today for 435.60 and let's
pretend that tomorrow the price spikes to $460.00 an ounce. Are you
going to sell it at $435.60 tomorrow?? I think not!!

DING DING DING DING DING!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have a winner!
It's a CONSUMER driven market, if the price is really too high people
won't buy it. But if you can afford a 60k H2, I think they can afford
the $70 fillups. My problem is when they bitch about the price of gas.
They're blind to the fact that they're causing it. It's hypocricy due
to ignorance, plain and simple.
I'm smiling when I put $60 into my 05.... Because I'm gonna have some
fun with that 4.7! Did just that last night!
