I can't understand why our so-called leaders don't see the collusion when 75-90% of the gas stations in a local area ALL raise prices at the same time. It's a monopoly as far as I'm concerned.

GrumpyCat Champion Author Alabama Posts:2,747 Points:808,920 Joined:Jun 2009	Message Posted: Jun 12, 2013 11:49:43 AM Ignore GrumpyCat Report Abuse No. If I don't get as much or more value from my purchase than the price paid, then I don't buy. Same for gasoline, cars, motorcycles, computers, food, .... I like getting a bargain. But when value over and above price paid diminishes then I diminish my future purchases of said product.
