    Gas prices. If price fixing is illegal then why is every single station the exact same price?

      To be fair, in perfect competition prices for a homogenous product would be the same everywhere.

      But the reason for it in reality is that tacit collusion is not illegal (and even if they break the rules and make deals, which happens, it is hard to prove. but you don’t need explicit deals for prices to end up being the same). there has been many studies done on the gas market in partucular.
