$624 FILLUP TODAY 177 gallons at 3.526 a gallon
THIS IS A FRICKIN SCAM.
Here's why I say this.
Saturday morning 6am local station is 3.89/gallon premium diesel. Saturday 4pm they're at $3.99 a gallon, Sunday 6am they're at 3.94 a gallon. So I fillup on Monday and it's still 3.94 a gallon. I ask the guy what's up with the price over the weekend he gets all pissed off at me. Says he's not going to raise his price a nickel it's too damn much work and he'd just as soon close the doors for the money he makes. Starts mumbling back and forth...I really pissed the guy off asking this. Says he got fuel Saturday nite. OK so how come the price went down a nickel then Sunday when NO-ONE is even open....
Think about this...Home heating oil dealers make about .75 cents a gallon right now. There's a .56/gallon road tax in Massachusetts right now too. I just paid $3.52 a gallon today for home heating oil...less .75 is $2.77 a gallon their approx wholesale cost. Add .55 a gallon to this makes $3.32 a gallon wholesale PREMIUM diesel cost. So they're making .67 a gallon at the pumps....NOT the .05 or .10 they claim to be making or losing money!!! So that means these ripoff artists are making $7-15 a vehicle for a fillup! Multiply that by 20 cars/trucks an hour conservative...and times 13 hours a day...holy CRAP these guys are RAKING in the money. It's ALL a SCAM. I don't feel bad for any of these guys any more.
WHEN is our elected officials going to stand up and stop this senseless BS.
