GAS: Smells like price fixing

| September 25, 2015 9:00 PM

Hey, what the h--- is going on with gas stations and the cost of fuel in Coeur d’Alene? Post Falls, as long as I have been here, was at least 10 cents higher, and Spokane even higher.

Just checking around, I find Coeur d’Alene now is higher than both of these cities; diesel now around 40 cents cheaper than gas. Wow!

Why was it up to a dollar more for all of those years? Could it just be some price fixing? Wake up, citizens. Buy only where it is cheaper and it might just slow down this price fixing in Coeur d’Alene.

P.S.: Gas is $2.25 at the Coeur d’Alene Casino station. With that saving you can just go on to the casino and spend it there.
