I see your point. but I will also say that I am like most in our area. With the prices fairly close on basicly most things. I likw most will go to what I am use to or what and who I know. Price doesn't really come into it unless there is a major difference?
Kind of like shopping for groceries? I will for the most part go the same familar store each time. LOL!

And I believe for the most part. Most others are similar as far as that goes?

The main thing about the gas prices?
They could all charge the exact same price and basicly get the exact same customers they now get? It ain't like they don't know what others are charging?

But, that is fine. If one wants to charge 4 cents less than another. That is OK with me!

I know it is impossible to compare and they don't even have much say over any of this.

But, just think?

When Bush was pres:

Crude went to about 150?
Nat-gas went over 15?
Heating oil over 4?

Lets see what happens over the next 6 years!
