yep tthis trend has been the same for a long time. my dad opened his first gas station in either 1959 or 1960. So yes this is nothing new.
If you are on the gas subject what about the reformulated crap!!!
i am sure you get just as good of gas mileage with that garbage in the summer time and pay more for it? so while the hippie tree huggers are worried about natural resources and pushed for reformulated gas they ended up fucking themselves.
