The Truth About Gas Prices-How The Oil Companies Are Ripping You Off

Want the truth about the oil companies and how they are ripping you off?  Want to know why the price you pay is not as cheap as it should be?  Want to know who’s responsible for the high prices of fuel here in the United States today?  Want to understand the fraud within the industry?  Then continue reading this post.

I have had it. I own and operate gas stations and I am tired of the manipulation by the oil companies relative to gas prices and how they are ripping off the American public.  I am tired of watching interviews on the news channels where the executives of the oil companies who are ripping you off dance around the questions and never get put on the hot seat to explain how things work.  It’s fraud, I’m sick and tired of it and I’m not going to take it anymore.  You can read about me in the about section above if you care to.  Otherwise read on.

In the coming posts I will explain in detail the inner workings of the gas station business from my perspective.  I will answer all your questions, truthfully to the best of my ability.  I will not rip you off like the big oil companies and their gas prices.  You will hear how the pricing is determined, what the gasoline margins really are, and the profit that is made on a gallon of fuel at my level.  You will understand why the free-market system works to avoid fraud and rip off in our country and why the big oil companies are not obligated to follow the same rules relating to oil and gas refining and selling.

Why am I doing this?  As I said earlier I am fed up with the big oil companies and their lies, or more specifically, lack of the truth.  The oil companies have been manipulating prices in the United States for some time with complete immunity from the FTC.  Why has this fraud, that is the ability by the big oil companies to manipulate the price of oil and gas, to cheat consumers out of cheap fuel been allowed to happen?  Read the following posts and then make your own decision.
