Arrgh — lost the Gas Game this week. When I saw gas yesterday afternoon for $1.53 at Fuller and Leonard, I knew then that a price hike was coming, but I didn’t fill up because I thought it would be on Thursday. As noted, it is already posted on the Speedway web site — $1.76!!! The 20-cent margin price, based on yesterday’s futures prices, is $1.74, so it is starting to look like Speedway is trying to improve their margins. Let’s see how other stations follow their lead.
