Enough already about the geese in Drake Park. Why don’t those of you who are expending so much time and energy on that problem concentrate on the recent unjustified price increases on gasoline in Central Oregon?

Two weeks ago, NBC reported the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded was $2.72 per gallon, and just two days prior to that report, the Bend and Redmond stations had already increased their prices by 3 cents per gallon; and as of July 26, the station in Terrebonne and two in Redmond were over $3 per gallon.

Oil prices have been maintaining a steady average of $75 to $78 per barrel for months now, so what reason do the Central Oregon dealers have for us to choke on now?
