Everyone knows that big oil companies are deceiving the American people on the price of gas and heating oil. Everyone knows that big oil companies own the politicians; that is why nothing is ever done about it.

As of Sept. 27, people from the Rumford-Mexico area were buying gas for $3.27 per gallon, while people in the Lewiston-Auburn area were paying $3.60 or more per gallon. Are the local distributors deceiving the public, too?
