 YOU go outside and put New Numbers up. IT is that simple. And since, In
 the United States at least , we have a Free Market the vendor is FREE
 to charge what he wants. OF curse when he raises it up a litle to ofar
 Volume drops and he has to drop pit down a littel. In the old days they
 used to measure volume sold per week and make small adustments. today
 most ot the Major Brands to it with Computers. And as I said i nanother
 post ARCO makes price adjustments negihborhood by neighborhood. SO the
 guy down the road cold pay 5 cents MORe per gallon at an aRCO station
 then I do even the Gas comes form the SAm Refinery and could have been
 delivered by the same Tanker Truck to the station.
THAT is the Amercian WAY and I for one would NEVER trade it for any
other way.
