I am amazed at how much people know about buying gas. I just buy it where ever I happen to be when I need it. I buy regular gas, and don't even look at the price or the name of the gas station. I live near Colony, but have no idea what station you are talking about. The only thing that makes me angry is when the pump won't give me a receipt and I have to go inside. But, I do think that the pricing at the pump is monitored by the Government because of the taxes on gas. Also, I think premium gas is a ripoff unless your car "knocks" on regular gas, regardless of what the car manual says.

lack of a receipt is common at Colony Shell as are inoperative pumps

Just passing this along so you know what to expect if you ever have an issue there. The new neighborhood Walmart across the street will sell gasoline I believe.

This owner sounds like the soup nazi from the Jerry Seinfeld TV show. I NEVER stop there; he is RAPING the customers! I hope Wally World puts this joker out of buisness!

Future post that'll go on for 17 pages including the typical insults and ego bruising.
