Default Money grubbing FBO's


"Robert M. Gary" wrote in message
At Sac Exec only one operation sells fuel. Another FBO recently bought
several fuel trucks (which the fuel company fills on site, avoiding
the need to transport the fuel). Once the FBO made it known that he
was considering selling his fuel to the public, the price from the one
fuel seller dropped about $1.50/gal (self-serve) over night.


Same thing happened at RAP; when Rapid Fuels opened, WestJet dropped their
price about $0.75 to $1.00 a gallon after having a nice monopoly for quite
some time.
