No, it's a completely free and totally fair market with no collusion in which all of the gas stations in an area raise their prices the same amount within five minutes of each other and lower at the same time, too.

I've figured it out, I think, though. They have evolved psychic abilities for survival. They don't contact each other and their parent companies don't either.
