> [@jtviggen](#): > > o and btw my boss at Hess mentioned that the companies that make the plastic numbers for stations are filling orders for 4’s and 5’s!!! that doesn’t really mean much…shouldn’t they have plenty of 4’s just in case the price of diesel is 4.44 and regular is 3.44… pretty sure they should be prepared to have extra of every number for odd situations like that.
