It always the way when they've got a "captive" customer base. It's like the way that hospitals in this country charge extortinate prices for patients to use telephones - something like cost 39p off-peak and 40p during peak times for ptients to receive incoming calls. But they're not allowed to use mobile phones!!

So much for a free market

Heh, it's funny watching foreigners complain about prices of fuel. I can't imagine the riots if U.S fuel prices matched ours... and we got oil per barrell CHEAPER on the import market.

If our prices were in the 7 dollar range, anarchy would reign freely..... Groceries and retail items would double in price....

Black market gas pumps???

i thought I'd revive this thread our prices have dropped from in USD
4.37 for a US gal or 1.04 /l
3.27 /gal or .86/l
I'm going to assume the price of fuel in the US is going the other way due to the dramatic fall of the green back
