Pump Bills Irk Stations, Too

Gas station owners aren’t fueling your pain, they’re feeling it.

Station owners earn more from selling a bottle of Pepsi than 6 gallons of gas, despite near-record gas prices.

“If the consumer thinks it’s ugly buying 15 or 30 gallons at these prices, you ought to buy them 9,000 gallons at a time,” says Bud Ruschhaupt, who owns Bad Bud’s gas station and car wash at Herndon and Cedar avenues. “We’re at the same end of the pipe that the consumers are.”
