Skippy,they need competition.It is basically a monopoly.They can charge whatever they want(monopolies do this..) No other business is as unfair to the consumer as this one is allowed to be.Regardless of income,people pay the same amount for gas,therefore poor people are gunna feel the pain the most.It is the classic case of the rich ripping off the poor.Whether it be for transportation,or to heat a house,oil is a necessity(especially in the Winter.)
