Gas prices making anyone reconsider?

[Stbentoak]

Most stations are independently owned -- why wouldnt they set their own price? I often see same brand stations near each other with different prices.

Because they are set by their location to highways and population centers. And I'm talking about the Places like BP, Shell, and large chain Quickmart's and truckstops. Not a guy with 2 pumps in a 500 person town.... They have studied the demographics of each area and know where they can be higher and where they have to compete with 5 others within a half mile. This is known down to a science...

Remember you don’t pay for what the gas costs are, you pay for replacement costs

Gas was never that cheap near me in 2016. What state was that in?
Also--I don't understand how fuel that was already in the gas station tanks overnight, can be raised to the new raised prices when it was already purchased at the previous lower price.
Just greed.

I agree!

I drive what I want and just budget accordingly for gas. If a person/family can't pay for gasoline they probably have other constraints in their budget that need attention first. (just my $.02 cents)

It seems that facts and common sense are not always welcomed on the internet

In some homes happy wife = the poor life.

I better not respond to this! Well, the happy wife is a Proverbs 31 wife!

That would be the ideal wife. Not the dripping roof wife…

Why, Wyatt. Whatever do you mean?

According to AAA the previous high was $4.11 in July 2008, which is $5.25 when adjusted for inflation. We still have a ways to go but hope it doesn't get that high.

Waited to long already so will stick with my Tahoe when it gets here. Hopefully at this rate by the time I get it rates probably GM down.
