Gas Price Shinanigans OR My Greatest Pet Peeve

Ok short and sweet time. Maybe someone can tell me how gas companies can get away with overnight increases of 50 cents or more and then take their sweet time to lower them back down.

No I am not impressed. This has always bothered me even when it was only a 10 cent increase. Last week I was sitting in Starbucks looking at $3.68/gal. The next day it was $3.95 and then a day later it was $4.19/gal.

Hello? It's going to take a month or two to come back down, if it comes down at all. How can they get away with this? I know it's about them maximising their profits and that's fine, it's business... but come on.

Yours truly,

Angry gas-guzzling mini-van owner
