Gas prices in the Phoenix area (and apparently in other states, =
also) have increased due to market forces (supply and demand) we are =
being told. Fair enough. But in theory, a shortage here due to a =
pipeline break should mean a glut somewhere else... Like Tucson... If =
prices there are not down to about 50 cents / gallon, then the gas =
station owners' argument falls flat. So what are Tucson gas prices? =
Price gouging may not be illegal, but price fixing and collusion in =
competitive markets is. Unfortunately, neither our Governor, nor =
Attorney General, have the spine to make the necessary phone calls to =
break the bureacratic red tape (and foot-dragging) to get the supply =
running again. And when it's over, then what? Will she have the courage =
to go against her Environmentalist supporters and make positive changes =
to the fuel delivery system in this state? Oh yea, this was off-topic!
