It's my understanding that Flying-J isn't using the entrenched bulk supplier that's here in Dodge. If you want to perpetuate the gas war, then begin buying your gas at the Flying-J. 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.. | Same with the Sinclair/Fuel Center 24 on North Central. He doesn't get his gas from the local bulk dealer. He also doesn't post his prices for all to see. I know the other day when gas was 1.99 at Kwik Shop the Sinclair pumps were at 1.95!
