Don't buy
gas, don't buy snacks, don't buy coffe from these folks. Let 'em

you're mad as hell and not going to take it anymore!


You tell 'em! There's nothing more despicable than a for-profit
corporation that makes money. Reprehensible! I've bought my last
Slim Jim and Mountain Dew at the Tiger Mart.

He's not talking about simply making a profit. He's talking about gouging
the public.
It is, in fact, reprehensible.

Gouging.

Interesting.

Gouging usually implies higher than market prices. Around here,
Lake County, Illinois, Mobil has lower prices than Amoco.
Competitive, here, even with cut rate outfits like Clark.

Not to suggest that prices haven't risen, lately.

But gouging....not quite.

Dammit! Why'd did you change email addresses, Maus?

Oh well...

Not at all.

They have more stations than other brands, and they sell more gas.

If they're selling more product, you'd expect them to make more profit.

Around here, Mobil gas is priced about the same as other brands
- in some cases they're less.

If they're somehow able to make more profit per gallon while maintaining
competitive prices they should be congratulated for their efficiency.
