Perhaps the attendant was mistaken (where is Ralph Nader!) as I would think the consumer has the right to know. At my 'town pump' PetroCan (if anyone can, PetroCan..(?)) and probably at the competitors, there is a little decal on each pillon that has a pie chart of the divvying up of gas prices. As elsewere, profit is the tiniest of wedges. Most of the other wedges are large chunks of tax. The gas station owners want us on their side when the prices are hiked. -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (west coast of Canada) where we depend on motor vehicles to get to stores, but we have miles of natural beauty on the way and yes we do walk along some of it ;) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
