The only possible motive is they are trying to reestablish the myth
that prices are set by an auction market based on supply and demand.

Isn't it interesting that all of the conspiracy theorists run rampant
when prices are going up but are strangely silent when prices go down?

It should be good for boating however (please note clever interjection
of an on topic subject).


The price of Gas certainly ISNT controlled by " Supply And Demand " up
here.
We have a wonderful fear-mongering website called " Tomorrows Gas
Prices Today" that post how much Gas prices will either increase, or
decrease every day.

I cant believe its even allowed to operate. Writing as many letters as
I can to the Editor of the London Free Press about it, I dont get ANY
answers as to WHY its operating.

Classic Fear-Mongering.

When they state that gas will rise tomorrow, people will flood out to
get gas now instead of waiting till tomorrow.

It makes me puke !!

I get my gas at the local Indian Reserve. NO Status Card needed, they
pump the gas, and its ALWAYS 10 to 15 cents LESS than everywhere else.
It IS a 20 mile drive, buty I consider it worth it !!
Theres even a website that shows the current price, so theres no
chance of it being higher than expected.
