That’s why I was happy with mid $60/bbl oil…oh well ---

Although charts dont lie they really do lol. ---

Well turns out Buffalo gas stations are price gouging. (I cant find the link) They are averaging around 25 cents/gallon in profit compared to 10 cents/gal avg nationwide. They are being forced to lower their prices or will be fined heavily. ---

They are not price gouging, price fixing possibly. Gouging is pricing above the market price with no other retailer available. Both are still illegal. Examples: Price gouging - being the only gas station open during hurricane katrina and charging $100 for a gallon of gas. Price fixing - Station A calls up Stations B,C,D,E… etc and says they won’t lower the price if the rest of the stations don’t. ---

The problem with price fixing is that it is going to be very hard to prove. The way it seems, is all the stations in WNY were waiting to see what their competitors did and that kept the gas prices from falling. Channel 2 just said the average WNY station is making about 38 cents profit on every gallon, where other areas of the country, the stations are making around 10 cents or so. I’m just glad I don’t have to pay for gas 🙂 ---

Back down to 47. I filled up with this a little while ago, and then drove down the street and saw 1.64 for 93. ![http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/gas.jpg](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/gas.jpg) ---

So Higgins’ investigation definitely scared the retailers into stopping the collusion. 4 weeks ago when I went to Syracuse, price difference was 30 cents. This weekend, I went back, and it was even. ---

> [@longuyen88](#): > > great just when we avg 1.99 in buffalo gas prices go back up Not likely any time soon. The demand just isn’t there and regardless of what OPEC does history has shown they have little control over the price of oil. When the price was skyrocketing their production increases did nothing to lower the price, and their cuts now are going to do nothing to increase the price. And that’s assuming they can actually follow through on their cut and get all members to stick to it. PS: Oil is down $1.30/barrel today, sitting right around $45 again. So much for the “it’s gonna be $50 on Monday” doom predictions. ---
