Are gas prices, bottled water, and starbucks coffee prices related. I think so. I can image |
|
an oil exec paying 3.50 for a cup(plastic holder) of coffee and thinking if people are stupid enough to pay $3-4 for coffee or buy bottled water, why not $5-6 for a gal of gas.

People like to buy Starbucks. Nobody likes buying gas, even if it was cheap.
