The net effect will bring even lower prices from the Dodge bulk dealer because his ongoing quota will begin to exceed his deliveries; forcing him to reduce his price to the other gas stations.

It's an elastic chain but we will eventually see even more competitive prices by buying from the new bulk company; causing the old bulk dealer to either sell it, or swim in it..
I'm in! I'll fill the Mustang up there today!
