Even the gas station owners are getting frustrated with the price gouging that goes on regionally... especially here in Falmouth, where our prices run .10 to .20 cents/gallon higher than surrounding towns. The owner of this station leases from Mobil and is a slave to their regional price fixing (Mobil sets his prices according to the retail prices of his local competitors instead of based on actual market prices... a practice twhich he contends should be illegal). The price signs are his message to Mobil and a representation of his own frustration with how much higher his prices are.
