Hi Gary! Just getting back to the thread, and reading all the weekend posts...

Haven't had a chance to respond to your last post (to me), but I will soon...

Just a quickie..

gasoline. They're paying less than $1.00 on the east coast and much of
the oil comes from the west. THAT is price discrmination and the FTC
does nothing about that. >

This is in all likelihood due to the difference in state taxes for gasoline sales. California has one of the highest (maybe the highest) state tax in the country....The price to clean up/regulate (supposedly) those beautiful coasts ..about 25cents higher than most states....If there were gouging on this, the FTC would be all over it...

Talk to you again soon...

John
