The price of gas downstream is always going to be higher because you have costs that have to be recouped for getting it to the customer. You have to process the gas. You have to transport it, and you have to sell it. There will always be a discrepancy there.

The cost is being paid for by gas and impact fees. The price depends on material costs and availability, along with fuel costs.

Rising medical costs are the principle driver behind higher auto insurance prices in the U.S. and a significant share of that pressure is due to abuse and in some cases outright fraud.

The price has nothing to do with costs, so the sellers have to grope around for price points that the public can live with and that will make the company enough money to pay their acquisition and royalty costs. Certainly, Apple knows that if they raise prices too fast, 'free' will become more attractive.

When the price of gas goes up, they pay more. When the price of gas goes down, they pay less.

What frightens me is not the price of gas but the availability of gas, ... It just worries me.
