Why the Disparity? - Part II

Why is it that the oil and gas industry can be so arbitrary about prices? A hurricane is coming...RAISE PRICES! The political climate in Iran is bad...RAISE PRICES! The presidential debate was televised too late..RAISE PRICES? In what other industry can a business elevate prices to the public because of what they are predicting or think will happen? Case in point: Here are 2 gas stations- less than 1/2 mile apart, within 1 minute, along the same highway, on the same side of the HIGHWAY!

$3.58 vs. $3.95, come on!
