AHA!!!
So Gary was RIGHT!!! Again. People will do the easy thing... I collect both Petro Points and Shell Airmiles and have those two stations closer than any others but I am going to try to make an effort. Plus spread the word. I wonder how many people have considered the thought I put below.........
It DOES seem really ridiculous that gas costs so much more IN Canada than in the states altho we produce it and distribute it.......
but the REAL sticker for me is: - when a tank truck dumps its load at a gas station, do you REALLY think that it isn't at a "SET" price of some sort? Do you think they DON"T have a price agreement on it?
?? Of course they do - you are talking big bucks for that!!
(do you
really think they say "we'll settle on the price after we see how much you can sell it for..."
) hmmmm...... I have some swampland...... Show me ONE business that works that way.
And so the station gets a few hundred thousand litres at a CERTAIN price. And then they swing the price ALL over the map all day every day claiming that the gas THEY buy costs more!!! HUH?
They got a
whole tankload at a certain, fixed price. Now they arbitrarily add 10-15 cents
a liter to that anytime they figure they can get away with it.
THIS is the thought that gets me really PO'd.
When I see a tank truck delivering a load
ONCE "per price swing", then I will believe that the STATION has rec'd a load of "MORE EXPENSIVE" gas.......
until then it is arbitrary and unacceptable gouging. Nothing else.
And everyone is buying their line?
??
c'mon; think about this for a 1/2 second!!!!
