The Speedway Effect, Cincy style

Recently there was an article and news story on WCPO in Cincinnati about Speedway. In it they said a lot of things TheGasGame readers would already know, plus something I found interesting at first, and one outright falsehood.
They come right out of the gate letting us know Speedway’s secret: Real estate.

Surge in National markets makes spike loom near

I meant to post this last night, but I got called away for diaper duty, and then bedtime. My apologies.
There was no DOE report yesterday because of the Columbus Day holiday. So will Speedway treat today as a Thursday or a Wednesday? If it is a Wednesday, they may wait for the DOE report [...]
