People should get their facts straight, before they go off on something they don't have a clue about. Skelleys is a gem of a country store!!

BJAM, That is why I asked the question earlier in the thread. The question, as asked, is loaded or at the very least is leading. As you can see on the great places thread- it is one of my favorites.
I have never been yelled at or seen him do so- quite honestly, I don't see him much. He's got great people working there, that's what shows.
The only time a gas station should change prices is when they get a new delivery in the ground. Nothing else should effect their price that would cause anything but a minor adjustment. So the stations that do less business off season will be slower to change prices. With snowmobiling being very busy over the past few weeks I am sure Skelley's is selling more high test than usual, so the price will fluctuate more often. They really do not care how much gas costs per gallon- the service station owner is trying to make $XX per gallon, not a percentage of price. I think that is what you have seen at Skelley's- natural price fluctuations based on new deliveries.
Of course, gas stations are a business-and can choose to charge what they want. I can vote with my feet and do. When the oil prices were rocketing skyward in the spring and summer last year, I took note of those that changed their prices daily or even every few hours. Shockingly (not) those same stations were the slowest to lower prices as prices plummeted. Guess what- the only time I stop at one of them is to pick up enough to get me to another station to fill up (I feel like a teenager all over- $5 diesel on pump 2 please)
