I grew up in a very small town (pop ~300) where I pumped gas in the summers.
Guys would roll up running on fumes and ask me to put two dollars of gas in it so they could drive one town over and save a few pennies a gallon on gas.
Pretty soon after, the owner of the station stopped selling gas entirely. Yay!
If you weren't a farmer with your own tanks on site, you were pretty much forced to drive 6 miles to go get gas after that.

- gerbilly 7y agoThis way of thinking would make sense if the only thing that mattered in life was money.
