<hr><P><b>Comments:</b></p> gas gouging at many stations in Bay City, Midland and Mt. Pleasant.  There was a .20 price increase on 3/23 while some stations remainded at $3.99 others increased to $4.19.  I do believe they all buy gas from the same suppliers, why the price difference?!! The only answer is price fixing..which I believe is suppose to be illegal.</body></html>
