Nurphy Oil, located in the Walmart parking lot has been running 2.99 for a week now.

But everywhere else in town is priced at 2.91.

Murphy's customer service "couldn't comment" on local pricing...

Oh, BTW, crude oil spot price has been dropping for the same period.

It's not gouging if there's other folks selling -- then it's either
cleverly taking advantage of people's buying habits, or stupidly ****ing
off your customers.

Either way, the market takes care of the details.

Try £1.40 per LITRE! here in the UK currently. If I recall correctly, ~85%
of that is tax.

There are things for which the market should remain free, and things for
which it should be regulated. If a few gas stations gouge their
customers, and some don't, then the market will correct things. If an
entire industry adopts policies that are going to have severe economic
repercussions (say, for example, that the oil industry had a history of
bankrupting itself and leaving the nation without a fuel supply) then
either the the US government will step in earlier, or the Chinese
government, in the form of it's army, will do so later.

That's not even bringing up the markets that every republican wants to
strictly regulate, but never calls it a 'regulated market'.
(Recreational drugs, prostitution, rounding up your kids and selling
them -- these are all markets that are tightly regulated, yet that's not
how folks talk about them).

I heard on the radio, that AAA says the cost of gas is
something like 3.05, and is up a dollar twenty from two
years ago. I live in NYS, where the cost of gas is about
3.35 for 87 No-lead. NYS is priced a lot high on
everything, due to over taxation.

When a walmart came to the town I work in, Murphy drove down the price the other gas
stations were charging. Then after a year or so, it was part of the band of thieves. All
they did was divvy up the suckers.

20 miles up the road there is a small gas station that is back to beating their prices
again and it is on my way home, 7 miles after leaving the divided section of the highway I
drive between work and home.

LPG 71.5c litre = $2.72 per US mini gallon $3.25 per real

My '93 Nissan Patrol runs 99% of the time on LPG. Only on petrol
when I run out of LPG or about 10 km once per month to operate fuel

Not here, thank goodness.
I believe that east of the Nullarbor some parts of the country
have ethanol added. Yuk.

My Patrol is thirsty enough already without ethanol adding about
15% extra fuel use penalty. LPG is the way to go, very little
pollution and only a small increase in fuel consumption, very much
offset by the price differential. My GPS reports that I have
travelled 13748 km at a fuel cost of $1971.64 since I bought it, max
speed of 126 km/hr (110 legal limit but I was on a private road ) and
a moving average speed of 62 km/hr and I am 63 metres above sea level!

Most of our wheat is exported, about 95%, in competition with
subsidised wheat from the USA and there is none left to waste on
ethanol production.

Many years ago my ex employer used to buy in ethanol for use as
race car fuel. It was a by-product from charcoal manufacture which
was used in a relatively low volume cast iron smelter.

You are right.

We also bought ethanol, cannot remember where from - it
was 46 years ago.
