One of the things that affects just about every small business is the price of fuel.  

I am not a lawyer and I don't know the legal definition of price fixing, but it sure seems to me like  the "fix is in".  

It is pretty simple that if the large oil companies where truly just passing along an increase in prices from their suppliers then their margins would actually be shrinking as their sales increased.  From an article released today in the Wall Street Journal that is definitely not what is happening.

These companies are reaping massive profits on the backs of american consumers and small businesses, and I think it will continue through the end of the summer when they can no longer justify the prices.
