Gas prices USA

[BLUEHAWK]

DMZ - LT
Just went out to get a sniff of the street, regular here is $1.59, ethyl is $1.75.

Here's some more questions:
- If urban area prices MUST be so much higher because there is so much greater demand and so short a supply, then why are fuel distributors not held negligent by shareholders for not supplying more fuel?
- If rural area prices MUST be higher because of less demand and higher cost of supplying fuel to remote places, then why is there such disparity between areas?
- Is there ANY place in America where supply and demand actually DO function as a guide to pricing?
