ROFL. Well read my earlier post.

Do tell, whom did you talk to from that ‘industry’ ? The guy that owns/leases the pump ? The guy that delivers his gasoline ? The warehouse where the delivery guy picked it up ? The bulk tank operator who moves things through pipelines to the warehouse ? The refiner ? The multinational that produced/imported crude ? Everyone in that chain adds some cost, and, those costs VARY wildly on the day to day basis. These are around 10000 different companies that participate in this chain. To say that someone arbitrarily sets the price is ludicrous.

Again, words that didn’t come from me. I did not say that there is one person who says “Set the price of a barrel of crude at _____”. The industry is not one person, but don’t expect me to believe that there is no collusion.
