A couple weekends ago there was a Hot Rod show here in town. I was on vacation the week prior but got an email that gas was going up $0.30 (which took it to $3.19 all over town).
A week later it had dropped to $2.79 in parts of town (while it was had only dropped to $2.94 near where I live).
Today, I found a place selling gas at $2.62/gal in a part of town I don't usually drive through (the area mentioned just above).
I've a feeling that the shooting up of the price to $3.19 was to gouge the hot rodders. But, also, oil had hit $78/bbl again.
Anyway, it's fine and dandy for gas to be back to $2.62 (not surprising that any collusion might be occurring in order to boost GOP approval ratings prior to the Nov. elections and to help "lower" inflation to get the stock market going again....but all that is a whole other issue).
What pisses me off is that when it went up, all stations around town shot up to $3.19 but now there's nearly a $0.30 disparity around town (with the highest being around where I live...a nicer part of town). For example, ALL Speedway stations went to $3.19 two weeks ago. Right now, there are Speedways in the southern part of the city that are about $2.65 while the Speedway near me is $2.88.
