Yeah, we made 'em lower the prices to get people to come to Carlisle and the Little League World Series! On Rte. 15 just north of 274, it was $2.61. Oh, in answer to your question, what gives is called 'collusion', also known as price fixing, or honor among thieves. It must be nice to work in an industry where good work gets you a raise, and extremely poor work gets you a GREAT raise. Do you think you could live on a four hundred MILLION dollar retirement package? It has absolutely nothing to do with the cost of Crude Oil, we've all got the e-mails about which stations to boycott and which ones buy no foreign oil, but they all raise prices together. Sorry for the rant!
