A post in two parts:
Part one...
Sister in law from Detroit is in town on business and says that gas is $4.07 there. She was amazed that gas at the Safeway store next to us was only $3.87. And, having spent at least $50 in a food shopping trip using my "Safeway Club Card," I got a 10 cent per gallon discount, so I paid $3.77.
Part two...
An oil company spokesman on our local NPR station last week said that prices were generally lower at grocery stores or big box stores because they don't depend to gasoline sales for their profit. He also said that, contrary to what we've been told, US refineries are not working to capacity, but have some "confortable" head room. If that's true (I obviously really don't know), it flies in the face of what "Big Oil" would have us believe.
