Holiday gas gouging

But, while the price of oil fell, gas prices were hiked.
Why have gasoline prices increased in West Logan, Chapmanville and other areas of Logan County, when the price of gas is still at $2.65 in Danville and $2.69 in Williamson and Alum Creek? The answer is simple: Greed.
We believe gas stations are gouging holiday motorists because they know so many people are traveling at this time of the year and they are easy targets. The gas station owners see the opportunity to make an even higher profit from the increased number of motorists on the roads at this time of the year and they are taking advantage of it.
People are traveling long distances over the holiday season and need gas and the increase in traffic is a good time to milk motorists of their hard-earned cash.
Gasoline was priced at $2.47 a gallon in Pikeville, Ky., just 28 miles from Williamson on Friday.
Gas prices fell from $2.79 a gallon for regular unleaded to $2.69 at Myrtle in Mingo County this week at the same time prices went up in Logan County, which further proves that gas stations here continue to charge way too much for their gasoline.

I would like for the Logan Banner to please contact several small business owners of local service stations before they print such opiniated, biased articles in the paper. I know everyone is entitled to what they want to think, but as the Daughter of a small business owner where gas is sold, I can tell you first hand the store owners are not greedy. The locally owned stations are just making enough from a tank of gasoline to cover the costs of it and not making a profit. I am sure most would be willing to show you what they paid for a truckload of gasoline if you would just ask.
