I'm having a hard time understanding how the BP station did any gouging at that price? If gas was $.12 a gal cheaper across the street, how did the BP station sell any? Why would anyone pay $.12 a gal more than they had to? If they did, they must have wanted to. Why?
"...Why would anyone pay $.12 a gal more than they had to?..."
I don't know the answer to that. However, while sitting at a stoplight next to the BP, I saw two idiots pull in there and gas up. What idiots. They must have a LOT of disposable income. I never said they were gouging. Just making an observation on one of the biggest jumps in pump prices I've ever seen. It was stunning on the face of it. BTW, I don't gas up at BP or Exxon.
