    As an American: because gas has to compete. You can’t ask to go to the cheap hospital, they don’t even usually tell you the price before administering medicine. So hospitals charge what they’d like and that’s that. Gas prices are highly competitive and we’re one of the world’s primary oil producers and refiners. Additionally the Biden administration has been using our strategic oil reserves to stabilize gas prices.

      Isn’t there literally a law that prevents gas stations from being too competitive. Like you can’t lower your prices below a certain threshold lower than a station near you or some shit like that or am I just on crazy pills
