Oil companies out smarted me today. [View all]
In my area the gas stations have always jumped up pump prices on Tuesday or Thursday. Usually 40 to 50 cents/gallon. So, this week they did it on Wednesday 25 cents. Every station in every town in my county. Please google "speedway effect". Make it a point to never buy anything in a gas station when they jack up the price. I once worked in a Speedway station, so trust me, that is where they make their money.
Capitalism is not based on competition, it is based on what the market will bear.
I had planned on filling up this morning.
