Gas Prices

[WMSteed@aol.com]

This topic is too good to let go.  

Last Friday, unleaded regular gas throughout the Spokane Valley was posted 
from $.979 to $.999 per gallon.  On arriving back in  Moscow the lowest price 
I saw was $1.179.  I know there are said to be other, higher costs of doing 
business in Moscow, but let's consider transportation costs alone for a 
moment.  The 20¢ difference on a 10,000 gallon tanker truck from Spokane 
would generate $2,000 in additional revenue for a single trip of under 200 
miles round trip or over $10.00 per mile.  

I'm thinking about going into the fuel tanker business.
