The general concept of most gas stations/convenience stores is epitomized by Buc-ee’s. Low margin volume on fuel as a way to draw you in for the high margin crap in the store. I can imagine that the (misplaced) animosity over high fuel prices is keeping a lot of people in/at their cars and not in the store making profitable impulse buys. And on top of that they have to listen to an ignorant, senile President who has no knowledge of petroleum economics simply command them to lower prices. Ugh!
Exactly, although I wouldn’t write Biden’s blatherings off to ignorance. He’s a nasty, cowardly lying sack of dog squeeze and knows just what he’s doing.
