If so,then the one across the st. will be cheapest,so everyone buy from him then.The point is for everyone to buy from the cheapest station,keep buying from the cheapest one.

In addition, let's say the plan works. One station is 2 cents lower than the other 20 in town.
Can you imagine the road rage that will go on when 10,000 people a day are fighting for space at a station with 12 pumps?? Is saving 2 cents a gallon worth the hassle??
Nope. And Akmed knows that too.  |
No,you need to read the first post.Check 3,4 or 5 stations in a given part of town or city,buy there.No road rage,as soon as everyone starts buying from the one station the others will lower their price ,that's the whole point why it will work.Then everyone change where they buy gas.The way it works,everyone keep changing stations and buy at the cheapest one.

Re: Create A Gas War.
It's this simple,everyone just keep changing where they buy gas,always buy it at the cheapest station.Then they all will keep lowering their price to get business.

Re: Create A Gas War.
To create a gas war a man needs to eat bush's baked beans and have his wife eat baby lima beans then a gas-war will start.

I'm not joking . No there are about 650 humans children included. Our fuel come up from Seattle by barge. The store is owned by a Seattle company. We have no other option to purchase our gas/fuel from. We would surely like to.

I told my wife a few weeks ago if we wore plastic bags and caught all the gas we could run our cars.

Did yours go up when ours did ? If so it will most likely go back down when ours does.
