You can stay at the Bel Air hotel for $1,000 per night so we should be paying $1,000/gallon then?
There doesn't seem to be any competition to keep prices low.
Shop at Gelson's and pay more than Food for Less.
Should Food for Less raise it's prices to Gelson's?
The point is the price opf gas is high because they can get it but it greed without competition.

I agree that greed is a factor. But $3 per gallon won't break me and I drive 3-4,000 miles per month. Comparing a hotel room to a gallon of gas is a little out there.

Excuse my spelling I'm smoking a premiun cigar that I got off the internet at half the price of a store.
Competition is what keeps prices affordable.
If all markets colluded and raised everything as high as possible and we had no competition everything would collapse.
