Grand Rapids Rip-Off

Date    Gas Prices  GR             Bemidji          DOE Nymex Crude

9/3                3.699                3.619             109.35

9/1                3.699                3.639             115.46

8/26              3.579                3.579             116.27



This graph shows the average price of gas in the state of MN and the price of Crude according to GasBuddy.com.  If that doesn't show that GR is getting ripped off I don't know what does.  Not that there is a lot we can do about it, it's not worth it to drive to Bemidji or Brainerd or Duluth to save $.05/gallon, but it sure pisses me off that these people can do it and get away with it year after year after year.  Someone up here is raking in the dough, and it's coming off of my skin.  Wish WalMart would open a station here.  I probably wouldn't buy gas from them, but at least it would force a change in the paradigm.
