Guest guest Posted March 30, 2001 Report Share Posted March 30, 2001 Since this is almost a year old and I know that I do not buy gas from these two, and I have only seen gas prices go up here I guess this idea was a bust.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2001 Report Share Posted March 31, 2001 I love the idea! However, does anyone know how to find out who each individual gas station buys their gas from? We could be supporting Exxon without even knowing it...

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2001 Report Share Posted March 31, 2001 I have traveled somewhat extensively abroad, and let me tell you, gas prices in the States are cheap. Think about this. Some people in this country will pay $1.50 for a gallon of bottled water (water being the most plentiful substance on earth), but they're not willing to pay a $1.50 for a gallon of gasoline. I think we Americans are just plain spoiled sometimes. Pat in Ohio btw I don't work for an oil company and nor do I consider myself to be an advocate of them. Just a realist.
