WHERE ARE THE GAS STATIONS?
In the mid 90’s a friend and I talk about buying some gas stations. I even went through a
Texaco class to learn about the stations, how to order gas for the pumps, etc. However, after attending the class and recognizing that the profit on gas was only a few % and the profits all needed to come from the convenience store we decided not worth the time and effort.
From that time forth I have noticed more and more gas stations closing. Yesterday, I again noticed a stations demise. I have asked myself before and I continue to ask myself, why.
My only explanation is that THEY (possibly oil companies, alternative fuel, our government entities, etc) are creating a supply demand issue in order to redirect the public in the direction THEY want us to go. Can that be hybrid cars, less plastic items (grocery sacks, bottles of water, etc) I am not sure of where THEY are directing but it is obvious to me we are being lead in new directions.
Do not take this as a negative. My experience is that the masses will not move because it is the best thing for all. Masses move from being lead.
I have no issue with hybrid cars, using paper or cotton bags for groceries, less plastic bottles flying around. I only want others to take notice and not be surprised when the world around you suddenly looks, taste, and feels different.
