Can we get a section where rack pricing is reported? I know there are websites out there that report this locally, could we have an integrated solution here, where state/provincial and federal taxes and levies are added so we can be informed of what the true base price of gasoline is locally?

As rack prices are set to be effective the next day, reporting a rack price hike would give the rest of us a heads up to dash for gas that afternoon or evening before the hike takes place the next day.

jrsva -- rack pricing is the price set by fuel wholesalers, where retailers buy teir gas from. It is them who control the price of gas.
