Can someone explain to me what it is about the price of gasoline and or diesel that just drives some crazy?
I went by a no name station today where the price was $3.019 this station only has 1 island with 2 pumps. There was a line for each pump 4 cars long. (1 at pump and 3 waiting)
One city block down the road there is a no name station with a price of $3.029 and a branded station priced $3.049 Both of these stations have many pumps with no waiting.
So who would wait in a line that long to save 20 to 80 cents? I just do not understand this.
On the other hand people are always complaining about how high the price of gasoline is. It even makes the 6 pm news.
But people will spend money on fancy cell phones with all the bells or buy a house or car way bigger than they really need and think nothing of it. They have so much junk they have to rent a mini storage to store all of it. But let gasoline go up a dollar a gallon (about $20 a week for most) and all he!! breaks loose.
So is it you really can not afford gasoline prices? I think not considering all the luxury items people own today.
Or is it you can not just stand some company making so much money? If so you need to consider the liability involved.
Just wondering???
