I've seen more than one cnn scrolling message from
petroleum groups saying that the price of oil should
not be effected- basically saying that it ain't us
giving you the screwin'. I also heard a good idea-
find the stations that are price gouging and take
pictures of them, give them to the news/bbb/whoever.
In Tucson we aren't seeing this problem, are those of
you in the gouging areas seeing *all* of the stations
do this?
