And 2.99 in Los Fresnos. Why is it still 3.35 here?

If people would rally together and only buy the cheapest gas in town, the others would have to match it. Then you could just keep going lower and lower. It's our fault for not getting together and getting the prices set. Those folks that have the money that pay the high prices and don't think twice are why its so expensive. It's 3.49 here in San Marcos.

Going to be unpopular for this but oh well:
People complain about paying for gas when right now the average fuel station is making about a 5.3% markup. HEB probably averages a 25-35% markup

Many people will pay .75 cents for a 20oz bottle of water which would be $4.80 a gallon. Now please think about the cost of getting that water in a bottle vs the gas?

Go visit a independent gas station owner- how many hours a day do they work? If they were getting so rich I doubt they would routinely work 14-16 hour days. I know one lady who said she has not had a day off in 3 years

Next factor in if someone get 20 gallons in gas the owner is running a gross of 3.4 now back off the potential credit card charges, employee cost, compliance fees etc... Not a lot left. Oh and right now is a ideal situation for the fuel station, most of the time they are making about 10-12 cents a gallon not the 17-22 cents they are now..

If we could group up and drive every price gouger down to a 5% mark up it would be a very interesting business market

I saw a local gas station that had regular gas for 3.37, and the Plus also for 3.37. Didn't make sense to me.

Low gas prices means the economy is getting worse. Hopefully it will end Obama.
