...have to agree but I am telling you, the gas station folks are not the bad guys. Do the math;
Bloomberg.com: Energy Prices
Gas is about $2.70 a gallon right now by the tanker. Add in state and fed taxes.
Guy I know just spent something like $50-60k to upgrade his pumps and he'll never earn enough from gas sales to pay it off. He makes his money fixing cars.
