Weekend Warriors Beware!

We have observed a funny thing here, both in Ely and on the Superior North Shore. Late on Thursday night, every single week, the price of gasoline increases 10 cents at every station in town. Early Tuesday morning, every single week, it drops exactly 10 cents, back to the previous price. This looks to me like price-fixing and a conspiracy to gouge the tourist. There ought to be a law ....

Ironically, the price of diesel doesn't change. It's about 30 cents higher all the time than it is near Duluth.
