My biggest beef with the locals is that when they get a whiff of prices rising, they change the price to reflect that. They have already paid the lower price for the fuel they have in the tanks. That's the main problem, it goes even further when they get a lower priced product, they still charge the higher price.
Who'se making the money then. There should be a cap on when they can charge the higher price and it should be watched carefully. Each state has it's own dept of weights and measures, let them be the watchdogs, give them some bite too. There are all kinds of laws being broken but nobody pays attention. That's just my take on the situation. Our Country also got all of the Oil companies in the middle east up and running with technology, then they threw us out. Why not take all our stuff and go home with it? Shut them down until they can figure out how to do it on thier own?
Make them pay, like they do to us. In Saudi Arabia, it only costs 6 cents a gal. We have done the same with Iraq, gotten thier oil fields up and running to the tune of billions of dollars. Let them pay for our help now that they can afford it. Simple economics, if you can afford it, pay!!!!
