Wisconsin Tells BP Owner Who Gave Discounts To Elderly To Boost Prices

There seems to be no doubt we live in a greedy, commercialized, fascist society where the government is only concerned for its own interests and not of its people. This guy should sue the state of Wisconsin for civil rights violations.

The law in question is actually a good thing for small station owners. If there were no regulations preventing large corporate owned gas stations from charging less, they would be able to push independent owners out of the business. You'd end up with monopolies, and at the end there would be higher prices all around. There should be an exception in the law for charitable discounts like the ones mentioned in this article. No such exception exists, and so the state is bound to enforce the law as it is written.

I commend you sir for trying to do what your state won't let you do. That is to try and lower the cost on your end. Wisconsin has to make the profit off the gas so they can have solid oak or cherry desks in those over priced offices the sleep in.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Oil prices sank over $1 Wednesday after a government report said supplies of gasoline, closely watched ahead of the summer driving season and running below average, rose for the first time in 13 weeks.

A big jump in crude supplies also helped send U.S. light crude for June delivery $1.36 lower, to $60.90 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Oil had traded down about 6 cents just prior to the report's release.


U.S. crude prices (in blue) have fallen over the last month, while oil company stocks, as measured by the AMEX oil and gas index (in yellow), have gained.
