A tractor-trailer load of gas now is 20 thousand dollars to a retailer.
You know how much it cost to fill up your car, now you know how much it cost to fill up a gas station.
On a side note, some gas pumps don't register over $2.99 per gallon price, so the pumps will have to be replaced.
This is a problem for small, older stations, usually mom and pops, so it is another small victory for big business. The small stations will not be able to afford the expensive new pumps.
Once they drive them out of business, the price mayl come back down below $2.99.
Maybe that is the corporations motivation to get prices above $2.99.
How many stations do we have in the Maysville area that will have to get new pumps or go out of business.
