Disgusting, dangerous lawlessness in the great state of Maryland has been decisively brought under control:
A gasoline price war erupted in St. Mary's County last week after one station slashed its price for regular to $1.999 a gallon and spurred three others to follow suit, giving drivers some hope of relief at the pump. But the price dip proved fleeting. Maryland regulators quickly stepped in and told the stations that their prices were too low. They needed to go up by 5 cents.
It's reassuring to know that the state can be relied upon to protect its citizens from unexpected bargains.
That's pretty twisted.
