Subject: [Az-Geocaching] No gas to geocache!
Gas prices in the Phoenix area (and apparently in other states, also)
have increased due to market forces (supply and demand) we are being told.
Fair enough. But in theory, a shortage here due to a pipeline break should
mean a glut somewhere else... Like Tucson... If prices there are not down to
about 50 cents / gallon, then the gas station owners' argument falls flat.
So what are Tucson gas prices? Price gouging may not be illegal, but price
fixing and collusion in competitive markets is. Unfortunately, neither our
Governor, nor Attorney General, have the spine to make the necessary phone
calls to break the bureacratic red tape (and foot-dragging) to get the
supply running again. And when it's over, then what? Will she have the
courage to go against her Environmentalist supporters and make positive
changes to the fuel delivery system in this state? Oh yea, this was
off-topic!

Lets bring back the alternative fuel credit! We all need Hummers to
go caching :-)
No problems (yet) in Tucson...
