You could take them to court - but in most states, natural gas prices are regulated by the government.  There was a significant increase in the price of natural gas this winter - you're probably SOL.

call someone, and ask them to buy oil from you. ... once you have the order, call around and try to buy it from someone else. Soon you will realize that demand alone doesn't make a market easy to participate in. The markup is slight...but the volume and the regulations are amazing. Where will you store your gas/oil if you have a one or two day lag between when it gets delivered to you and you deliver it to someone else? Gas and oil cannot just be held in a big box...\nHow will you judge the quality of the product you are getting? Will your costs when buying really be better than a company who buys a million gallons a day from a wholesaler? And, will your buyers pay as much when you are new and delivering smaller amounts??? Some stuff to consider...

I don't know who, but he needs to go hunting with the Vice Pres.  I am doing everything I can to save gas - run with little to no a/c, I only live about 20 min from work, I drive the speed limit, I combine all of my trips when possible, shop for cheaper prices, everything.  But $3 a gallon is going to break me this summer.

Definitely fight back. \nMost times a place like that isn't worth sticking around for, but they should be made to pay for their treatment. So:\n\n1. Build a case\n2. Talk to a lawyer.\n3. Find another job.\n4. sue.

Call them. Talk to someone at the magazine. Contact the BBB by PHONE or snail mail. Call your local consumer protection agency.

Approach a Consumer Protection Society and through them fight.\n\nIn the mean time (1) Approach the highest official you know, with a detailed complaint in writing. Take an acknowledgement from him, may be a signature on an extra copy of your complaint.\n(2)Most newspapers have complaint columns on certain days of the week. Write them.

Make sure you have all your "ducks" in a row so to speak before you go through all of that trouble.  \nThe advice you've already gotten are correct.  The county clerks office should have all of the information you would need on file.  Or try your local Better Business Bureau. If they are listed they will have that information on file.  They will also on some occasions play "mediator".  \n\nTry threatening the manager in person with making a greivance with the Better Business Bureau to keep it on their permanent record.  If they are not listed with this the BBB then try another local group. Chances are they are listed with someone who will hold them accountable in some way.

Do what they successfully do in some other countries - boycot the big oil companies one at a time - if NOBODY in the US bought gas from Exxon for a specified  time you can bet your bottom dollar they'd reduce the price at the pumps!  Then go on with Chevron or whoever is the chosen one - main thing - target them one or two at a time! They don't care about the US or its citizens - they're in it for the megabucks!  And if they can't get megabucks, they'll take whatever bucks they can get!

Gas companies often debit under odd names. Did you make a gas purchase recently? I almost disputed a gas purchase that I had made a week or so earlier from checking my account online until my boss told me that the company was a specific gas company in the area.

Yes you can easily fight this one and should. All tickets should be litigated. They are just using you as a profit center. Time to stop this.

If you don't need something exact, just take the air off the top of a container of bleach.  At ppb level if you need something exact, you will need to get a compressed gas company to make it for you.

They are taking advantage of you since they think you won't do anything about it.\n\nFind a lawyer willing to help you and do something about it. \n\nYou can call them for free and tell them your problem. Then they decide if they can help you. Try and find one that you only have to pay if you win, out of the money they win. You might not get much, but you just need to get the problem straightened out anyway. That will do it.

Change your insurer.  If you have a complaint about the one who voided your insurance, take it to the Insurance Ombudsman.\n\nHowever, if you have tried to raise this matter with the insurers and were rude to a call handler (I nearly lost my rag with one so don't think I'm being accusatory in this) they do reserve the right to withdraw cover.  Remain perfectly calm while you are dealing with the idiot on the other end of the line (who similarly thinks you are one, too) and just remember to a) ask for their name before you enter into any discussion with them; b)if you feel you are beating your head against a brick wall with them, ask to speak to their manager or supervisor - they should be obliged to let you do this; c), threaten to involve the Insurance Ombudsman.
