yeah… and KwiK gas stations running ads saying they sell only 100% US gasoline. but the cost of production for domestic crude/gasoline has NOT increased, so if this were actually a free market like the fairy tales they tell in school, KwiK would be selling gasoline at half that, and still making a fat profit. that they are NOT should tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about capitalism and the illusion of a competition based free market.
