Why do you keep insisting on this obvious fallacy?

I know you aren't stupid.

No, I am not stupid and I don't think you are.

Why do you doubt me?

Because if they did as your suggest, they would lose money every time
they filled their tanks.

Wholesale gas purchases have to be forward looking - meaning that they
are selling what they have now to be able to purchase what they need
tomorrow.

Doing as you suggest, means that they have a stable supply of gas at a
set price or have purchased a set amount of gas at a set price which
no distributor does anymore - the distributor can't afford to do that
because of the volatility of gasoline pricing. If they do have a
stable supply of gas at a set price, then every other distributor in
the area would really like to know where they get it.

Call my previous marina.

I then expect an apology from you and others here who continue to
doubt what I say.

Well, I'll call your bluff.

First thing in the morning.

Then you can apologize to me for being a moron.
