Re: Gas Prices CAN be re-duced!!!
I have gotten this same e-mail message every year for about 5 years now.
Remember when gas hit the $1.50 mark and every one was upset.. Ahh, those were the days huh?

Ok, so the second wave of e-mails I get every year which make a little more sense is this: Don't buy gas ever from Exxon/Mobil (the biggest gas supplier in the world). They merged and are now just one big company. Make the smaller (HA) gas suppliers reap the benefits, and put the big dog out of business (like that will ever happen).

But, then on the opther side of the coin, I see that Gas stations are mostly chains, but do not operate on the chain mantra of one product is the same price at all of the chains?

When was the last time you went to 3 McDonald's anywhere and paid 3 different amounts for a BigMac, coke and fries. The answer is never.
Although, Other more fancy chains are allowed to do this as I found out this year (Applebees in Times Square in NYC was on average $5 more on all meals than the local one here in CT) But, I would expect that for a high class restaurant in the middle of NYC.
