Oh the flip side of this, we (my wife and I) got a letter from Kwik Trip saying that they had raised thier prices at 8 p.m. on Tuesday in anticipation of higher inventory replacement costs. When the higher prices didn't materialize, they lowered thier prices at noon on Wednesday. Anyone who bought gas with thier KT card between 8 p.m. on Tuesday and noon on Wednesday will have the difference credited to them. They can't really do anything about the cash customers and I'm not sure if they can do anything about folks using cards other than KT. I was contacted as KT card holder, so that's the letter I got.

I think the Cuyahoga County Commissioners agreed to do the same in the rest of the County.

One local business owner made the point (on a radio program this morning) that if the prices the gas station owners pay for gas do go up, they've got to replace the stock in the ground now with higher priced gas... They need to be able to cover that added cost... Having a relative who owns a gas station, I know that they operate on a shoestring budget, sometimes selling the cheapest gas for exactly what they pay for it and making no profit from the economy grade..... Of course two callers later said that if wholesale gas prices don't jump, then the gas owners need to lower their prices $.10 below what they're paying now to make it up to the customers... Damn good idea, but I don't think it'll happen! :) JoeP -----Original Message----- From: Chinnery Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 8:54 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: God Bless America In my small town in western Michigan, the gas was $1.649 in the morning.
