In Tuesday's Reflector, we listed the gas stations with the "lowest" average prices in town. The problem is the big difference between the lowest average and the highest average was just a few cents.

The unfortunate truth is, until we all stop driving quite so much, start buying more fuel-efficient cars or develop energy alternatives, gas companies will continue to have us by the throats. There is seemingly no other way to fight back, because if you own and rely on a car, you must purchase gas and give your business to oil companies which are raking in record profits.
