Making right

An article on CNN today actually maybe the gas station owners weren't gouging after all; maybe they were just succumbing to this whole "supply and demand" rumor...and we were being "irrational."

Gas station owners earn only a few pennies of profit on each gallon of gas, Laskoski said, explaining that proprietors essentially use gas to lure consumers into convenience stores to buy cigarettes, beer and potato chips -- items that draw better profits.

When supply is low and retailers are uncertain when they'll receive their next gas shipment, some proprietors actually raise their gas prices so they can keep their gas supply longer and maintain profits from their snacks and sundries.

Read the whole article, because it is actually sound and logical.  It's what use to pass as news. Poor Eliott C. MacLaughlin, you won't last long there at CNN but at least you gave honest reporting a try!
