When price changes happen, all of the locations in Peoria seem to move together. There must be a conspiracy

All of us in the gasoline business pay nearly the same for product. Often wholesale prices go up and no change happens on the street. Pressure builds. We all take regular price surveys by driving around the area in which we market, sometimes as often as 2 times per day. When a competitor moves, we move. In our location we can watch Road Ranger out of our window and they tend to lead others in price changes both up and down.
