Wow, what a conspiracy theory! LHS's are pushing higher nitro fuel that people don't need in order to boost their profits. That extra $3 a gallon must be a really big deal!
Conspiracy? No. Marketing 101? yes. Study some texts on marketing and merchandising some time. You'd be amazed at the simple ploys that work on customers to get them to spend more than they really need to.
