Going up in price

"JimNM"The exchange rate between the US dollar and foreign currency throws another variable into the mix.

The world economic system is wickedly complex and to try to imply that there is a gouge in place only shows that one does not begin to understand the real world. Companies exist to make a product and profit enough to make another product.
The gouging comments were made at a time when only one store had raised their prices and the others were still selling cheaper.

Now that every store has matched the increase it is obvious what happened. Hindsight is 20/20.

 
You ever wonder about why it is that gas stations in the same city drop and raise their prices together whether it is BP, Exxon, Crown, Marathon, Hess etc, etc, etc ... yep ... there isn't a dimes worth of difference between any of them. All the gas comes into the terminals on a 36" pipeline and it's ALL the same product. When it is taken on by the terminals, they add their little bit of additive and boost the octane levels up to what they want it to be and it gets sold ... but it's all the same gas when it gets taken on by the terminals.
 
"dodge3500"The regulator is apparently a no can do .I emailed AoA and was told due to bottle a regulator couldn't be added.:(
But still a great price on the bantam.

This is true. Huma makes regulators for tube guns. I can't think of anyone that makes a regulator to fit inside a bottle. Seems like the market is in need of a new invention!
