HEADLINE:
CAN'T WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT RISING GAS PRICES?
BODY:
What has happened to competition? I'm
talking about gas prices that seem to be the same at all the
major suppliers. It seems that every time one outlet raises prices, they all
follow suit. Is this a little collusion? Whatever happened to competition? In
years past, we have had what is known as "gas wars," where prices from one gas
station to another were different.
Maybe someone, such as the attorney
general, could investigate this situation. I realize he and his staff are
overextended, but gas prices are out of control and competition is seemingly a
thing of the past. Why?
