Now this may gouge a bit

It happens the same thime every every year. Late April or early May, local gas retailers jack up local gas prices to further lighten the wallets of both the local and the out of town visitors. I just don't understand the mentality of it all. Shouldn't these retailers be thankful for the extra business rather than trying to price the maximum the the market will bare???

It would serve them right if we were to stop buying their three-hour-old hotdogs and lottery tickets.

whoa whoa... let's not do anything drastic

The fuel company’s use the supply and demand scales, as demand raises so does the price of fuel. But i think they are estimating the demand over the expected demand and keeping the remaining profits, that is gouging and actually a form of fraud.
