price of gas not a gas to consumers

"Gas retailers feel sting of drivers' outrage"
Soaring prices result in more theft at pumps

university of alberta economics professor joseph doucet says, "It's hard for a consumer filling up today to realize or believe that increase isn't related to the global crude price. But it actually isn't." well that all nice and fine for you albertans in you oil-fuelled economy-booming money haze but elsewhere around the counrty, some of us can actually see the dollar signs in the eyes of gas dealers.

it's all very well and good to say that crude oil only accounts for 35-40% of the pump cost but that doesn't stop gas dealers from raising the prices just for kicks when the price of crude oil becomes ridiclous or when a holiday weekend rolls around...
