Reply #14: Buy Only The Gas You Need Each Day

[BNA Biker]

The best way to change gasoline prices is to change your habitual purchase pattern. At present no shortage of gasoline exists. We have an inventory problem. It is made worse by each of us when we fill our tanks. When you have the surplus gas in your tank instead of in the oil company's, he has no reason to lower prices. If we would buy only the gas we need each day and run our tanks down to less than 1/8 of a tank before we buy, the price will come down to entice you to fill your tank. Don't do it. Industry pounds on us "just in time delivery" as the way to control costs, keep your inventory low and take delivery only as needed. Do everything else for the long term to reduce energy consumption for us all. But this change will alter prices now.
