Gas Station Owner Told to Raise Prices

This definitely should go under the category of now I've heard it all...

There is actually a law (at least in Wisconsin) that requires gas station owners to sell gas at about a uniform rate of 9.2% above their wholesale cost!

Why?!  What is so unfair about someone wanting to sell at a lower price than their competition?

I'd like to see that one stand up in Federal Court. Restraint of trade anyone?

Sometimes I really wish that we had capitalism in our country.

Hahahaha!! This must be a challenge. Anarchists everywhere must be charging more to rub it in the face of the Bush Administration...

Okay, so what are the excuses this time around for refineries being shut down?

Demand is outpacing supply? Let's quantify that... has anyone anywhere had to spend time in long gas lines? Have any gas stations had to close down due to lack of gas in their tanks?

Come on, do they think we're a bunch of fools?!
