Young Brunette Girl Strips At The Old Gas Station

In order to save money, some consumers in Canada and the United States inform each other about low and high prices through the use of gasoline price websites. Such websites allow users to share prices advertised at filling stations with each other by posting them to a central server. Consumers then may check the prices listed in their geographic area in order to select the station with the lowest price available at the time. Some television and radio stations also compile pricing information via viewer/listener reports of pricing or reporter observations and present it as a regular segment of their newscasts, usually before or after traffic reports. These price observations must be done visually by reading the pricing sign outside a station, as many companies specifically prohibit their employees from publicizing their prices via a telephone inquiry from a customer due to competitive concerns. In Canada it is illegal to provide any gas pricing from a gas station via phone as per the federal government. It is criminal offence to get into arrangements with other competitors, suppliers or customers for any of the following arrangements written or verbal:
- To fix prices and exchange information on prices or cost (including discounts and rebates).
- To limit or restrain competition unduly.
