Exactly when I last saw stations out of gas. :)
I think we are being handed a line of bull, honestly.
And I wonder why it is that I never see gas prices vary more than a penny in any given town? That tells me that there is some level of collusion among suppliers.
I just posted a story of that nature on another thread just moments ago - Local stations (4 of them within less than 100 yds) all raise and lower their prices to exactly match within 5 minutes of each other. In the most recent case - all raised their prices a total of 22 cents in the last 3 days - with none of them receiving a load of fuel in that time.
