To: null and void

How great is that! A gas station owner who is fighting back!

I don’t know why these gas stations - especially the independent ones - aren’t shouting from the mountaintops about these prices - they should at least have the run down on the profit margins of all entities that have their paws in a gallon of gas.

I talked to one in CT last week and he said he’s making 3 cents a gallon (people think the stations are gouging too - they aren’t) CT state tax is huge! Then there’s the Fed taxes - Environmental stuff - the cut to the distributor-manufacturer, etc.

Hmmm, maybe another sticker or sign with a rundown of what percentage/dollar amount goes to what...
(percentage would be better-a dollar run-down would have to be changed twice a day)

Here in California it was ILLEGAL to post how much tax was being assessed on each gallon of gasoline!

Don't forget the guy who hauls it in, (and he has to buy fuel, too).
