I got a story for you guys. I was at the pump filling up, a middle age man walked up to the pump next to where I was and started cursing out loud after looking at the prices, "these FCUKING speculators, FCUKKK, FCUUUKKKK"

Man was he angry...

Was it this guy?

I work at a gas station and its pretty annoying when people think we somehow get gas for free and we make 100% profit on it and raise the prices for fun. There are also some in that group who think we have a magic key that lets the pumps flow freely. I want to :facepalm: when I talk to them, but I also have the urge to :rofl2:

But even when expressing his dissatisfaction, that guy in video is rather calm about it and he's spot on for cursing at those bankers and such.

I've use to work for an accounting firm that did taxes for these gas station owners. Depending on the franchise, gas station owners actually get reaped of much profit since a lot of them are using LIFO accounting rules to calculate taxes for their business.

It's pretty sad that they make more money off the car washing and vacuum pumps by cost/profit ratio than gasoline...and they make literally pennies when gas prices go up, hence some cost 10 cents per gallon more than others due to rent costs.

This is true as my wanker neighbor owns over a dozen gas stations and talks to me (unfortunately) about them. Funny thing is that all his vehicles are now hybrids.

Yeah, business has been shot down lately too. We're pulling in around $500-1000 less each day compared to when I started working here 1.5 yrs ago and that's just In my 7 hr shift. This is despite the increase in gas prices.

If you think gas prices are too high then buy stock in the oil companies. This will help hedge your increasing fuel costs.

The 370Z is pure sex! It is hot, loud, and rough!

Fill it up today at 139.9 and you shall hit higher!

Many US oil companies base their profits on $40/barrel prices. In other words, their costs are always figured based on the $40/barrel. So, even if oil is at that price, they still make a hefty profit....Now when oil is $80-$100 barrel, you get Exxon with $600 billion in profits for Q1.

PapoZalsa 05-10-2011 01:50 PM

That is going to be one of the my major expenses going to ZdayZ from VA.
