Just wait a few months until they've conditioned you $3/gal.  They know EXACTLY when you will be paying $4/gal. I'm sure precisely when and how much each bump will be are on a spreadsheet, along with a cross reference for each press release of justification.

I think you're right, PF. 
You know what's really irritating, that fuel is one of the few things we buy that doesn't "add the taxes on" when you pay for the purchase. Almost a third of our price is taxes! They just don't tell you that. |

No conspiracy. Just business as normal.

I read an interesting article in the Globe about the discussions on setting world gold prices for the day at Scotiabank in London. Interesting. The rich get richer, you say? |

Steph,
The London Gold Fixing is, I believe, set by the Bank of Nova Scotia, Barclays Bank, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Société Générale. I thought it was done over the phone. Oh well.

PF, are you practicing for an Oz holiday?
If a cartel had a finite and much sought-after product, it would be fiscally irrational not to maximise their return.
It's not conspiracy, just economics.
