Getting Hosed? Secrets, Confessions and Tales from a Gas Station Owner

The title of this book, Getting Hosed? refers to how consumers often feel like they are getting a rotten deal from the oil companies. Or more simply stated, people feel like they are getting screwed by gas station owners and their suppliers of fuel. Some people blame the gas station dealer (the owner and operator) and put them in the same category as the oil companies, but this is a big mistake. It is my hope that this book will reveal to you that the gas station dealer is not making millions of dollars off the consumer through higher and higher gas prices. Most gas station owners are just small businessmen and businesswomen struggling to survive. This book reveals an interesting combination of oil company secrets, dealer confessions of how and why prices are the way they are, and some funny, sad and unbelievable gas station tales. This should help you gain a better perspective from someone who was just a little bit closer to it all than most people were. Along with you, I too was getting hosed by the oil companies.
