Fuel costs

[Thom]

Not a auto but here at work we are good for 40,000 and 50,000 gals of oil per week have the tanker truck here dropping off a load 6 days a week seven if they are coming out of CT. Highest amount of I have seen burned 6500 gals in a 24 hrs at about 1.59 a gallon. One of the reason why College is so costly. ThomT

The biggest issue no one is talking about is the lateral effect of the fuel rise…
If the American people are being sucked dry at the pump this will ultimately affect there behaviors and effect allot of businesses that depend on travelers and tourism.
i.e. If I spend $90 for one fill up I’m not driving up to Burlington VT to go fishing for the weekend rather stay local… so all the business’s I would have visited aren’t getting my money.. Sorry corn guy at the gorge sorry bait shops sorry roadside motel Sorry greasy road side dinners … I have to fill my tank…….

Besides needing a truck to work people are going to be more tempted to buy smaller economical cars.. some automotive company truly depend on consumers to purchase there big fun trucks… but who wants to spend a $100 at the pumps at every fill up

So in turn shoot me flame me if you want but I’m going to say it Bush needs to get off his A$$ and do something before this subtle change starts costing people jobs and closing more mom and pop’s little place’s… maybe this could be the one thing he could do to release the title I put on him as worse president we ever saw…

Gas station owner told to raise prices

2 hours, 24 minutes ago

MERRILL, Wis. - A service station that offered discounted gas to senior citizens and people supporting youth sports has been ordered by the state to raise its prices.

Center City BP owner Raj Bhandari has been offering senior citizens a 2 cent per gallon price break and discount cards that let sports boosters pay 3 cents less per gallon.

But the state
Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection says those deals violate Wisconsin's Unfair Sales Act, which requires stations to sell gas for about 9.2 percent more than the wholesale price.

Bhandari said he received a letter from the state auditor last month saying the state would sue him if he did not raise his prices. The state could penalize him for each discounted gallon he sold, with the fine determined by a judge.

Bhandari, who bought the station a year ago, said he worries customers will think he stopped the discounts because he wants to make more money. About 10 percent of his customers had used the discount cards.

Dale Van Camp said he bought a $50 card to support the local youth hockey program. It would have saved him about $100 per year on gas, he said.

GOOD for HIM. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE. The local Shell guy told me that his gas price (independent) is .34 a gallon more than what the guy 3 miles down the road pays (Shell owned station)
