More Plant Shutdowns

[Ryan Wright]

I fill up at a little bitty gas station located a couple of miles from
my house. They only have four pumps and when I roll in, I block two of
'em. They don't mind, of course, since the fuel flows like a flood as
long as I'm parked there. Their prices are consistently 5 to 10 cents
cheaper per gallon than everywhere else. In fact, the local cops
"suggested" he raise his prices and generally harassed him for
"causing" traffic jams in front of his store by offering such low
prices.

Not sure how he does it. I always hear how gas stations operate on a
penny per gallon margin at best, but this guy has been profiled in the
local paper and claims that's BS and that he is still making a profit
at the lower price point. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong
with his fuel or any shenanigans going on, I've filled up there twice
now and haven't had any problems.
