Hammertime, you seem to be able to beat all competition hands down because of your particular setup relating to fuel storage etc. Perhaps the service station in question can just as easily beat his competitors with ecomony of scale etc to a point where they will not be able to match his price. there has to be a figure that it doesnt pay to go below and if his figure is lower than his competitors, well he wins.

Been going on in Australia for years, works quite well if you know when to buy the juice.
