Who the heck is this supposed to punish? The oil companies that make 10 cents profit per gallon, or the owners of the stations that are lucky to break even? If one is serious about lower gas prices, lead a march on Washington and demand that we build more refineries and drill and explore for oil at home.

It would actually help the gas stations if there were 100% compliance. They could squeeze 7 days worth of sales into only 6 days and cut costs by closing down one day per week.

It’s supposed to punish the US government that collects 50 cents a gallon in taxes.
