Weekend Gun Show


Recommended Posts

You guys seem to want to haggle with everyone about everything little thing... No one mentioned that they haggle over gas prices WHY NOT!!

 

If you're going to haggle cars, guns and everything else why isn't anyone trying to cut a deal with their local Sunoco station? Talk about LAYING DOWN!!!!

Nick,

You can shop gas prices by checking out various station prices. You could also try to negotiate with the mechanical pump before sliding your credit card, but unless that computer has HAL's gift for speech, don't expect much of a concession. But why would a gas station owner care if one guy offers him/her .25 cents less a gallon then the advertised price? Is he going to change the pump regulator to suit the desires of one customer with their 22 gallon gas tank? Since the owner is never at the station, nor do their minions come out to wash your windshield, check the oil, or pump the gas, what sort of bargaining power are you going to have with the Circle K minimum wage clerk?

Nick,

In this case of gas station you are rarely dealing with the business owner and you can not expect a register drone to drop the price.

However, talk to the manager or owner of the station and if you apply for a bussiness acount at that particular station and purchase x amount of gas there per year. Guess what? He will negotiate 'value for volume' and you get a lower price. it goes back to my original quote of Henry Ford's theory. He makes it up on volume.
