Explain to me now lowering the overhead at the station and increasing
throughput won't lower prices.

>They claim self-service is cheaper

Not to mention faster, more convenient, and safer.

> but you are correct we do have the (or 
>almost the) lowest prices in the country.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You're joking, right?  I recently drove here from Texas.  The prices in
*every* state along the way were lower than what I've seen here.  Prices in
Texas were consistently 10-15 cents less that what I've seen here.

Even if that were true, why would it be a bad thing?

How can this possibly be relevent?

HUH?  Explain to me how increased overhead and decreased throughput is
cheaper.


>thought they would get it.  (Notice how many self-serve type pumps suddenly

What, pray tell, is a "self-serve type pump"?

>Eventually the oil companies will probably get self-serve in NJ.  They have

Time and money are why *I* want them.

>Folks who have been brainwashed by self-serve in other states

I can't understand why you like wasting your time and money being served.
Need to feel superior to someone but can't afford a maid?

>is "a good idea" because of promised lower prices.
			     ^^^^^^^^ delivered

> Funny thing is that in
>self-serve states the self-serve pump price is pretty close to the
>full serve price in NJ.

WRONG.

>If self-serve is so much cheaper, why is there not
>more of a difference?

There *is*.
