[QUOTE="kingfish, post: 4123041, member: 50496"] The QTs in Tulsa control the largest percentage of gasoline sales than any other city they are in. They set the market retail price. I studied their patterns for many years. They would randomly jack the price up 10 cents every couple of weeks, then it would trickle down a penny every day or two until it was time to jump it back up a dime. For several years it would happen every other Thursday. They didn't even try to hide it. Now it's more random. It had nothing to do with wholesale prices. Strictly profiteering. All the other non QT stations would follow the same pattern so they could make the extra profit. I learned that in the morning heading to work when QT pulled their bi-weekly price jack, I could go around the corner to a Fiesta Mart and fill up before they had a chance to reset their price. If more people would boycott QT when they pulled this stunt and search out the cheaper gas, we could have broken them from this habit. Sadly people are more interested in convenience than being manipulated and they had to have their morning cappuccino or slurpy and do a fillup while they were there not caring about the price of the gas.
