Last night I saw gas for $6.00/gallon but I thought it was a good
thing for the station owner. *The station was a quickie type market
where they do not make much profit on gas sales and mostly rely on gas

reasonable price, he would have no more customers for his store.
Dissuading people from buying a lot makes his supply last longer and
so he will have customers for his store. *I think he is being
reasonable.
$3.59/gallon street price yesterday.........$4.09 this morning. Same
gas in the tanks that was paid for a fixed price when they purchased
it and filled up their tanks.
Heading to the boat tomorrow..............unless a new gasoline
shipment was received I bet the gas dock price at my marina will be at
$4.09.......the price the last time we saw the posted price on the
river.
Go figure.
