We are experiencing what I refer to as the "greedy bas**** effect" right now - raise the price 15 to 20 cents mid to late week to shaft those people who buy gas when they get paid. It generally comes down in our area a little at a time over the next several days. While there officially no collusion involved, it almost always starts at a station located near us, and spreads throughout the city within hours.

We went to Indy last night, and found a 20 cent reduction in prices from our house to just north of Indy and then they went back up. Tuesday evening Heather had to go to Bloomington, which takes her around Indy, and just at the exit from I-465 she found gas at 2.05. Interesting how there are pockets where the gas is more reasonably priced - I'm sure they are paying the same wholesale price as the folks 10 miles down the road, and you know they ain't losing money in the deal.
