Gas prices in Durango continue to puzzle local citizens as we watch television reports about national gas prices going down every day. Yet, our local gas cartel maintains the same prices every day and in fact raised prices within the last two weeks.
Obvious price coordination among our local suppliers raises the question whether there is some type of price fixing here in Durango. Just recently on national news gas prices in San Francisco were reported to be less than in Durango.
Something is amiss in our local pricing that needs to be addressed soon to reflect the cost of oil falling so dramatically.
