I'm Sorry... Your Gas Prices Are Too LowSo says the State of Maryland (H/T to The Volokh Conspiracy):
That's right... Maryland has a law which prevents gas stations from having price wars and going too low! Unfortunately for me, Wisconsin has a similar law. My family has recounted numerous stories over the years about some local gas stations who used to go to war with each other trying to out do each other to the bottom. Why on Earth would someone pass a law against this? Ask the independent gas station owners. I say if you can't compete, then you shouldn't survive. I want cheap gas. By the way, it's also illegal in Maryland to give away free coffee with a tank of gas. So much for market innovation.
