Why are Lincoln gas prices high?          Send a link to a friend

To the editor:

Why is the price of gas so much higher in Lincoln than surrounding communities? Why do all the stations raise their prices within minutes of each other? Do they all belong to a cartel and conspire to gouge the citizens of Lincoln? Why do all the gas stations in Lincoln never engage in price wars? Do they all get their gas from the same wholesaler who sets the prices? Would the Lincoln station owners lower their prices if everyone bought gas from cheaper sources like Atlanta, Clinton, Hopedale, Minier, Williamsville and Springfield, just to name a few?

Lincoln and the surrounding area is a fairly affluent community and deserves better treatment from certain local merchants who want to make all the money they can from our people.
