So if that is Nationalizing Gas Companies then so be it. To me, it is common sense that we are financially repaid at the pump for our effort and the sacrifice that Families and Soldiers have made for our Country and the Countries supplying us with Gas.

I would just classify lower prices as common sense.

I agree. I never pay extra for something where I cannot actually discern the difference. So, for me, gas is gas.

Like many people have said, "it's marketing".

$9.99 sounds like less than $10 when they were marketing shirts. It's psychological.

Personally, I don't trust any gas company to do what's right, as prices vary.

To count your pennies, go to Find The Nearest Gas Stations & Cheapest Prices | Save On Gas to check for the cheapest price for gas.

Gas is gas, to me. They all have to have the same ingredients for "87" octane.

If you can afford a "top tier" vehicle, then you can afford a "top tier" gas price. For the rest of the First World Civilization, gas is gas.

Then maybe suggest to the local gas station owner that they raise prices for everyone else, so that they can then give veterans and active military with appropriate ID a discount at the pump.

And good luck getting everyone who isn't veterans or active military with appropriate ID, to pay extra - when they can just get it cheaper down the block from the guy who doesn't play around with prices.

Remember the GAS STATION makes very little on gasoline. The OIL company is what profits most from it.
