parents not complaining...
To limit long-term competition and blind-side consumers with their individual gas prices. These service stations will only benefit from consumers that are not adamant about how much they pay for gas, the rest will be wise enough to research gas prices on the internet.
For the same reason that gas prices are high in Hawaii: neither state has any oil refineries, so all petroleum products including gasoline must be imported from places that do and this must be done via ships, not pipelines or trucks (both of which would be cheaper).
I should ask your Grandad. In the UK it was about 4 shillings per gallon (we still had shillings then) and I recall it was about $2.80 to the pound, so that would make it about 50 cents to the gallon, but it was probably cheaper in the US
According to COSTCO, they monitor the nearby gas stations and attempt to keep their prices lower than those in a 3-5 mile radius. I have been told that they may change their prices several times per day depending on the fluctuation of other prices in their area.
The rising gas prices will affect teenages just as the rising gas prices affect everyone.
For cheaper prices maybe?
It depends on the current market prices, but generally, gas is cheaper than oil.
Gas heaters can be more economical. If there is a high supply of gas in the area it would have cheaper prices. Electric can be cheaper in other areas though.
Natural gas used to be much cheaper, but with rising oil prices its about on par with electric now. The price for gas will most likely continue to rise though. So, electricity is cheaper.
They would waste gas going to the cheaper gas stations legna

Many would argue that the benefits ARE being shared by consumers. Lower gas prices mean that less of a consumer's income goes towards a need such as energy. Most consumers would agree that they would rather pay the current price for gas than the record prices from a few months ago.
Hybrid cars purchased a price of gasoline plug-in for benefit
Well with the high prices today, it's cheaper to buy gas because it's cheaper than diesel. Diesel is most expensive.

Have everybody you know and they know start carpooling, which would really cause gas prices to drop.
