Gas prices

Date: Aug 24, 2021

Mid to high 3's for regular octane in Colorado. Now that we're pulling out of Afghanistan and losing that source of stolen oil, I'm sure prices will continue to rise until we're paying what the Europeans do.

That's a good link for average prices around the US.

But I really like this site..............you can type in ANY city, state or zip code in the Search box on this page, and get the actual prices at specific gas stations, most of them current prices, updated just within the last few hours. (Although the domain name for this link indicates Georgia, this covers the whole US).

Within the last year, our ability to set the price of gas has been removed.

We can only accept or delay whatever has been determined to be the price of gas.

We can put anything we want on the sign, but the price on the pump is either what it is now or what it was before.

There's hilarious stories about hungover store management setting prices decades obsolete, but that can't happen now. Probably.

Its funny, the only reason the company got into the gas business was to get people in the parking lot and to drive In-Store purchases. My locations always made a decent profit, and I was really surprised on comments from higher ups that they didn't care about fuel overall profit. Its funny, in the last 5-7 years they really started to change their story. Previously, they wanted to always be the lowest in the area, now they just want to follow what overs are doing. In reality, we only want to give the lowest cost to our customers, not random people driving by (ex. fuel points, etc.).

Walmart got into the grocery business for the same reason: just to get people in the door to buy the rest of their crap. You can tell they still don't take it too seriously, either, with their significantly smaller variety of food items.

I don't think you need to take walmart as the main example, I'm sure there are some other more successful stores?
