You drive by, gasp, and wonder about it. People mention it in hushed voices at the hockey rink. People speculate louder, in the work place.
Now there is unequivocal proof it happens. They are out there.
On Canada AM this morning, three companies ( all in Ontario I think) were all convicted of price fixing over gas prices in 2007. They artificially jacked up gas prices without direction from the parent company.
Who was guilty? one Canadian Tire outlet. One Pioneer station. One Mr. Gas station.
Makes you wonder when you drive by the station and it goes from 116.9 to 125.9 in less than an hour, if it was legit or not.

I heard that this morning on our local station! Crazy. Glad they got caught, though. I need to fill up this week, so was nervous about driving by my local station yesterday. Price didn't change. It's still at $131.9...*sigh*
It happens in the US too! Gas prices are rising every day...makes me crazy.
Ugh, that's awful... makes you wonder how many more companies have been doing that but have not been caught. As if gas wasnt super expensive as is!
