If I charged gas $5 at a time.

Hence why a lot of stations advertise cash prices and credit prices are .10 higher. Most station owners make .01-.015 per gallon if they're lucky.

Plus there's a reason Jersey is usually .30-.40 cheaper, the 10% tax NY imposes. This state sucks sometimes.

Dafuq? And I thought we were getting raped here in NC at $3.55/gallon for regular.

higher than that if you go east...im glad i got a job with a company car and gas card a few months ago

 

[edro]

lawl at your metropolis pain

I filled up for $3.09 a few days ago.

Midwest FTW

They will survive.

BTW alot of the price is NY tax. The stations don't really have a say in it.

And wait until Memorial Day. Prices are expected to eclipse the $5 mark. Thanks Barack!

Yes, I saw where the president raised my gas prices yesterday. He's quite the multi-tasker.
Do you know how to read? More importantly, do you know how to comprehend? Obama has about as much affect on gas prices as my 4 dogs.

focus on saving money on your own instead of looking at rising gas prices. Bring lunch from home once or twice a week - there... saved a few bucks right there, which is what you paid extra in gas for a FEW weeks. I stopped going out for lunch except maybe once a week - that saves food & gas money.

You apparently don't realize we are overflowing in oil.

That was or is the reason for the pipeline because there is too much oil stored up in the U.S. and they want to get it down to Houston to ship overseas.

Please try and keep up before posting.

Ok, maybe I'm missing something here, but WTF are we shipping oil overseas? Why not use it here and keep the prices of oil down?

 

[Svnla]

OP, gas stations owners don't set the price of gasoline. You are screwing the wrong people with your scheme.

 

[shocksyde]

Will be around $6 here in Chicago :thumbsup:

Based on your prediction history, it will be more like $4.50.

BINGO you win the prize.

In fact the Keystone project is to ship all the oil overseas out of Houston from Canada.

Can you tell your dogs to knock it off?

 

[Ben90]

Being able to see the P&L statement of any QuikTrip, Its not going to matter. It would cost more for you to pay in 1 dollar bills than what you are describing.

Alternatively you could just burn the station down. That would really show em'.

Debit cards. Pay at the pump with cash prices.

The ones around here take debit cards like credit cards.

 

[Rastus]

I have a friend that owns a big name gas station franchise. His parent company has an agreement with the credit card companies where the fees are waived, so it costs him nothing to take credit over debit. It's the independants and mom-and-pop outfits that take it in the shorts, as usual.

 

[disappoint]

I'm curious what exactly you think Barack did to raise your gas prices.

Nothing.

That's just it.

He did Nothing.

In that regard he is no better than Bush.

Tales of a fourth grade Nothing.

Exactly. Those poor gas station owners make their money on snacks and crap they sell inside. They make nearly nothing on gas- it's set by the market.

If you want to blame someone, it would be Wall Street. They're speculating like crazy now because of the middle east and the Washington refinery fire, so gas is WAY more expensive than it should be. We're actually using less gas right now in the US than we did in 2001! Prices are so high that refineries are shoving their extra product onto the world market to make big $$$$.

 

[herm0016]

gas is still around 2.88 here. i love wyoming, i love our refineries.

 

[dabuddha]

Since I'm not sure if you're serious or not, lemme point you to this article

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

What do you think will happen if that gas station were to go out of business (not that it would happen because of some retard filling up gas ~1 gallon at a time.)

 

[rsutoratosu]

Yeah i paid 4.25 today. Depending on the station, my station only lets me charge once a day. I have 2 cars and when I tried to do a 2nd fill up, the machine rejected the card. had to use a different cc

Well if one station is selling it for $4.05 and the one across the street is $4.09 then they are trying to make *something* from it. But putting it at the lowest rate they can will drive more business... and potentially into their store. How much are they marking up their Ho-Ho's though?

EPA regs.
Gulf drilling ban.
XL Pipeline on hold.
Refinery expansion red tape.

Yeah, as much as your 4 dogs.......
