Submit yoru own editorials hereDon't like prices? Vote with your gas tank
Local gas stations have the right to charge anything they want for fuel. They have no need to get together to fix prices as the price signs are information for other stations.
They operate by charging “what the traffic will bear,” meaning, they charge as much as they can without driving us to drive elsewhere for fuel. What can you do? Find where the price is lowest and try to only buy there. Never fill up here. Buy as little as you can get by with until you are near your station again. If you go out of town, be sure to fill up on your way home. Creswell is good.
Merchants have the right to charge whatever they want for their goods. We have the right to not buy from them. If everyone in the community were to keep fuel tanks below half-full we would send a message.
