Default AU REVOIR, CHEVRON.....

Just talked to the "Manager" of the 466-A Chevron. He told me they are closing the gas station at the end of the month and that the "next person" can fix all the problems. Personally, I think it was a flawed business plan to charge 15 cents a gallon over and above everyone else. And, for those who say that Chevron is traditionally more expensive, you are right and that fits into the flawed business plan. The owners should have had a traditionally priced gas station and they would have been successful. It's a big turnoff for most to pay 15 cents per gallon more particularly from a psychological standpoint. Here's hoping that the next owners have more acumen and vision.....
