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.

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...
:iagree:

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!
