Stop the Price Gouging at the Gas Pumps!!

Target:
Congress
Sponsored by: 
It is time that someone stopped the rampant price gouging by the oil companies at the pumps. There is absolutely no reason for the price of gas to fluctuate so much from one day to another! If a holiday is coming up or a weekend, the price of gas goes up, after the holiday or weekend, it goes down. This practice of changing the price of gasoline whenever the gasoline distributors wish is unfair to the consumer and should be illegal. When the gas station's tanks get filled they pay one price for the gas that goes into those tanks. Those tanks do not get filled every day, therefore the gas station should not be allowed to raise the price of gas until those tanks are empty and only depending if their cost has changed. Enough is enough!

There's a monopoly in our area. One distributor dictates the price for about 8 counties. Surprise! they're high everywhere we go. Please put a stop to this monopoly and, the health insurance monopoly, while you're at it.
