Gas Run

[Gilligan]

I filled up last Friday in VA @ $2.69/gal. It's times like these that I love my Jetta. I should be good until NEXT Friday.

I just noticed that the 33-gallon tank in my '78 Bronco daily driver is at 1/4....

I don't think that quite meets DOT requirements.

I saw a video of a woman filling a Rubbermaid tote.

The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.

It's more abundant than hydrogen.

I get that, but there is a difference between good business and raising the price of an item multiple times in the course of a day or two. Not justified.

If your cost keeps going up with a business like the fuel business the retailers on most cases don't pay for the fuel along with other commodities until its sold.
With whats happening on the east coast a retailers profit margin can easily be erased if the if the retail price is not increased when they get a increase.

I on occasion sell steel at a retail price to folks around town, would you expect me to sell it for what I paid say two years ago wholesale or todays retail price?

No, but that's not the same thing. We're not talking about 2 year old stock. This is a commodity that turns over in days.

One of my employees said his wife saw someone in Ridge yesterday putting gas in a trash can while she was waiting in line for gas. Please tell me it didn't have True Value written across it. I am not responsible once the trash can walks out of my store with you!

That can only end good. I heard about someone filling up buckets yesterday.

A business has to make a profit, if not it will shortly close like the restaurants in the last year...
Businesses don't survive on just making employee wages.
