#3 So you own a business and you operate on a very slim profit margin on fuel sales.Soon Government or State dictates you must sell at or below cost. What are you gonna do. Add on price now as fuel supplies will shortly become very erratic. You will not lose money on sales. You will increase retail to slow sales so you don't run out of fuel. Perhaps shutdown fuel pumps all together. The decision is now on you. What would you do. Some states are now requiring $10.00 dollar price indicator. Who pays for that. States like Pa. and Maryland are wanting to increase state taxes also.Daddy big bucks gets raped again and again.
