The American way. Like real estate, go for the top dollar. Go for what you can get of your customer's pocket and if the product doesn't sell, then adjust and start to drop your price.
In place of a boycott, If we were to buy only $5 worth each time we bought gas, the gas station would not have the volume of business to pay their supplier and the supplier would have to drop his price.

They use supply and demand.
Or whatever excuse they can think of such as hurricanes,too much snow ,etc. I never heard of this groing up but since Bush family got into office there you go
Supply and demand is the best answer.

America doesn't -- the Oil companies and OPEC determine the pricing.

It's quite simple: a bunch of crooks including our "president" and/or his second self aka "vice president" and their buddies from Big Oil get together and decide how much fellow americans should be screwed this week for. This process is called "market forces"... american way.
