Darn, gas prices took a nosedive in my AO

So much different from coming down from $5.02 in 2022, eh? Yeah, that unilateral democrat war on fossil fuels was a raging--------FAILURE, at our expense.

Same old, same old. As I often say.

We have a small town in NE WA that has 3 stations that are owned by the same E. Indian family. The only other station in town is Safeway who follows the local stations in price. Here's the kicker--Gas is $5.39 today while twenty miles away, gas at the two stations in that town are $4.89 and $4.99. Why is there a 40-50 cent difference in twenty miles. Price gouging collusion.

From being in retail for a couple of decades, I can tell you that location IS everything, when it comes to gas stations.

The other stations 20 miles out are cheaper because they are privately owned and can set their own prices. Which means they are trying to attract customers. This also means they are making LESS per gallon of gas, but hoping they make it up in snack prices. And if they sell alcohol.....making more on alcohol prices.

It's a give and take situation. But usually, they just come out the same as if they'd have just kept the gas prices the same as everybody else.

Competion. The difference is all of those high priced stations have a corner on the market in that town. The other town has one station that is consistently lower and the others follow suit because of------competition.

BUT, but, but, you bought that line when Biden was POTUS.

Biden didn't cause COVID nor Russia attacking Ukraine.

However YOUR TACO caused petrol to rise even higher - due to an idiotic and illegal war that only brought the closure of the Hormuz Strait as a result.

Biden launched the war on fossil fuels. Prices followed.

Obviously you aren't American.
Therefore you have no concept of what goes on here.

It's obviously better not to be a MAGA dolt - so that you know whats really going on.

Perfect example of a MAGA dolts logic.

Those who kept the price for petrol up - also sell snacks and Alcohol. Most likely even more due to their "Location".
