GAS PRICE-- EL CAJON $4.30 a gallon

[TCHB]

Today on the news in El Cajon the gas price for premium was over $4 a galon. In Huntington Beach it is between $2.15 & $2.40.

[Mandelon]

Its only one wacko guy at a Texaco station off Greenfield and the 8 fwy.

[Rod-64]

The guy must have some BIG el cajonies to charge that much... :mad:

[jet4fun]

yeah, how the hell does he think thats gonna work, are people stupid enough to buy from him, or is he the only station for about a 30 mile radius

[Skullinator]

if you buy gas from that fool all the other gas stations in that area will slowly raise there prices to make more money also.

He put his prices at that level because he knew the publicity he would receive having the highest prices in the country. Anyone stupid enough to pay that deserves what they get. Barnum was right.

Hey, anyone know of an electric motor that will bolt up to my jet? It's all about ZEV! Has anyone seen the movie Mission to Mars? There was a great line by Tim Robbins while sitting in 60's corvette: "Internal combustion... Accept no substitues!"

I wish I was paying that price. Yesterday 2.04 this sucks devil

[diggler]

Paid $2.11 yesterday. Cost me $59.00 to fill up the tank. ****ing oil companies!

[cheezpanel]

I live right around the corner from that station. I haven't seen a car there for al least a week, exept for the news crews. Even the manager doesn't know why the owner raised the prices. They stopped taking ATM/debit cards a while back. Who knows WTF is going on there.

[78Eliminator]

Actually, it's a pretty good way to get free advertisement. After all this funnels through the news, he can just lower it back.

[cheezpanel]

But in the meantime the dude is not selling one ounce of fuel....He's losing a buttload of money to the stations across the street.

[AZKC]

Not to defend in the least eek! , but I was an independent gas station owner in the early 80's and when gas prices start jumping like this, you as a dealer never know what your going to have to pay to replace what you just sold. Ya buy it for say $1.45 and ya sell it at $1.55 and then your supplier tells you, your next load is going to cost you $1.65, the wholesaler's and their suppliers are the asswipes(mostly) that cause this crap.....Hang on to your wallets its going to get much worse.

So in turn this guys actually making money by having gas he bought cheaper than everyone else and sitting on it till it peaks... :cool: then selling it off, kinda of like R-12 freon caper Dupont pulled off.....

I imagine he is doing some form of protest with his suppliers. My guess is, he has some kind of contract or something that he found a way out of, using some of the tactics that AZKC said with forecasting.

[hwyman]

nah, he's just making money from the auto repair in the garage there. There is no fuel in the tanks at all and i saw the news crews over there the other day. Last i heard that station was bought by Shell, so he won't get any fuel from Texaco and until he changes the place to Shell signs, he won't get any fuel from them either.
Always someone playing games!

I got it.
For that price maybe a knob job from some hot seniorita is included. :)
That’s why he doesn’t take plastic.

Maybe he's tied to terrorist organizations and is part of the whole oil conspiracy.He's probably gonna stock pile the cheap stuff and priced it so high no one will buy it, then when everyone else is at $2.75 he can reduce back to $1.50 and have lines of people/cars...think I'll stay clear of that station for safety alone. Probably the first place to get bombed when there are lines of people for his cheap petrol. :mad:

[Tahiti Owner]

Sorry guys...$1.539 for 89 octane. $22 to fill er up the S10! Ohhh I payed that price today...not last month!

[Kilrtoy]

$25 to put 12 gallons in the wife's Mustang GT, When I first got the supercrew that is what it cost to fill it with 25 gallons.

[RaginRedneck]

Gas prices really suck. I live in El Cajon and there are a few gas stations that are not even selling gas because of the price. That guy at the texaco must have lost his mind.
