  1. They intentionally left out the most alarming facts about these stores; they're almost entirely owned by foreigners and they charge their customers sales tax despite not having to pay sales tax to the government be it local, state, or federal they are tax exempt because our politicians have long since sold us out.

  2. I haul fuel for a living. If stores relied on gas to make money they would be out of business. Stores rely on you to go inside and buy marked up fountain drinks and snacks.

  3. Corporatism leads to lack of entrepreneurship, innovation and human ingenuity. Cirpiratism kills motivationbfor trye individual achivement. In fact, domination of few selected corporations is major classic element of fascism.

  4. Most times it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years that there are lots of opportunities in the financial market. The only thing is to know where to invest.

  5. seems the gas stations all around me are being run by people that can barely speak English wish they would address this and why its the rule and not the exception as if mulit generational Americans should not get the help and first dibs seeing their parents paid with money blood sweat and tears to build this country.

One person placed a tarp inside his pickup to fill the entire back of his pick up with fuel and did not notice the fuel escaping? An attendant would not allow such irresponsable persons receiving fuel in a full service refueling station under such circumstances.

  7. Someone tell me how people who are not from America get the money to buy gas station ? When a lot of Americans car afford to live in America where there born and lived there whole

  8. What does Putin and Russia have to do with it? According to the agreement, Russia will supply at the old prices even before August. All claims to the President of America, to their policy and the reverse consequence of the sanctions policy. But further, after August, it will be even more expensive when they completely abandon Russian oil. We have a lot to think about…
