I could say, well, I'm independently owned.
I need to have a bigger profit margin and price mine for $409.
You know, there's no problem with me doing that.
I know gas station owners that do do that.
They go 10 cents over their nearest big corporate gas station just so that they can make a little bit more of a profit margin.
I choose not to, specifically because of the relationship I have with my regular customers.
I would love for this to be over next week and I go back to $2.79 a gallon.
That would be awesome.
I hope beyond hope that it is temporary and it does not last long.
But yeah, I do worry about the longevity of these high prices.
It would be a strain on a lot of people, myself included.
And he makes the call to raise the prices.
So I'm going to raise it from $379 to $399.
That's a big jump.
It is a big jump, yeah.
The big sign is happening right now, too.
And it's almost instant.
