Lowest Gas I've seen: $2.599
Lowest diesel: $2.899
Why is diesel staying higher?
and yes I do think the gas/oil industry does fix prices.

With the rampant hatred of the oil industry, for more than 30 years, you'd think someone, somewhere, at some time, could have uncovered some evidence of price fixing. No one has, yet people still think they do.AndyMA said:
The only segment of the gas/oil industry that fixes prices is OPEC.

If they are not fixed, then how come in a given area all of the stations regardless of brand have exactly (to the penny) the same price. And change them on the same day. I just don't think our government really wants to get to the bottom of this. Big oil gives too much to political campaigns. All I hear is a bunch of politicians saying they will look into it but nothing useful ever happens..
I don't care how they are arrived at, if the prices at all the stations in an area are the same the PRICE IS FIXED. It's like a "Black Box" in engineering, You look at the input and output characteristics to determine what is going on. Only then do you look inside. Someone needs to determine from the input (costs vary even if OPEC is the same) and Output (price remains relatively constant in an area). The processing and delivery cost for all oil companies cannot be the same so something is clearly holding the prices constant.j
