Letter: Gas prices

To the editor:

On Sept. 4, I filled up my car in Topeka for $2.09 a gallon. The price in Lawrence that day and the days after was $2.44 a gallon. What’s up?

I have occasion to go to Topeka every month or two and have noticed the gas prices there are normally 10 cents a gallon lower than Lawrence over the years. Now 35 cents a gallon cheaper? It seems obvious to me the gas stations in Lawrence are in collusion to increase their profit. Can’t the city government or anyone else do anything about this?
