Sure it will,If everyone is buying gas at the cheapest gas station the others will lower their price to get your business,then people start buying from them and the others will lower their price.It will just keep on going down.It will take a few months but will work.If you owned a station,will you not keep lowering your price to get business ?

I actually was wondering if you were kidding.
But I guess you were actually serious.


I wont bother with a tedious explanation as to why... but lets just say, its an interesting idea --but it just wont fly.

And what happens when everyone has the same price for gas?

When Akmed at Speedy Gas sees all the customers and his gasoline supply gone, he will raise prices

ROFL!!

Totally true!

In addition, how many are willing to go across town to save 40 cents, spending $2.50 to do so? Isn't that defeating the purpose?

And what about small towns where there are only 5 stations and all have the same price? The big town gas wars won't have an impact there!

In addition, let's say the plan works. One station is 2 cents lower than the other 20 in town.

Can you imagine the road rage that will go on when 10,000 people a day are fighting for space at a station with 12 pumps?? Is saving 2 cents a gallon worth the hassle??

Nope. And Akmed knows that too.
