    Default Big Oil or Big Lube Job BY Big Business


    Is Price Fixing on gas taking place or not? Simpe question with simple answer. If not, then the price of gas being the same at all MAJOR gas stations MUST mean that they are each spending the same amount to make the gas at their OWN plants? LOL...Yea right!!!

    gas prices are horse s**t, example: diesel is a refined, easier to make byproduct of gasoline, yet it is 25 cents more at the pumps here. I just dont get it, they make the lil guy who supports the econmy more than the rest of the fat cats, suffer, i just dont get it!

    Not. The price of anything is determined by supply and demand.

    OK so then how is it that different companies with different supplies (because the DEMAND WILL ALWAYS BE THERE) charge the same...That's called price fixing. I would normally agree that supply demand drives prices BUT in the situation of GAS, we all know the DEMAND IS SOMETHING THAT EVERY AMERICAN HAS TO HAVE. In all other situations, when something is supplied to ALL OF AMERICA, the feds regulate them closer than this crap.

    So we know demand is HIGH and CONSTANT for gas. We all know that. We know supplies are CONSTANT too. So why the spike? All that big oil is done is hurt the economy. They say for ever .01 cent increase in the price of gas it takes like a billion dollars or something out of the economy. Not hard to figure out it's gone up $2 so just IMAGINE how that has to have an effect. If that' s the case....REGULATE THE LOWEST GRADE to $1 a gallon.

    Why do gas prices jump up 10 to 15 cents in one day at the pump based on future predictions or oil price increases , when that gas has already been paid for ? Then , when the price of oil falls , it takes weeks to fall 10 cents at the pump ?
