That was funny at first, but damn depressing at the end.

[H]e ditched his major gasoline supplier Getty/Luk Oil.
... although Getty owns both [stations], Parmar said the company stopped supplying him with gas six months ago.
Around that time, he stopped paying rent, eliminating potential overhead costs for the station.

...once Lukoil took over Getty, he says, his rent was raised, which squeezed his operating margin to the point where it was nearly impossible for him to earn a living. “They make sixty cents a gallon,” Parmar claimed. “They give their dealers only three or four cents a gallon.”
---
Although Lukoil may be squeezing their stations, typically, stations make between 3-9 cents per gallon. From the above articles I got the impression Parmar thinks there is a $2/gal. ceiling that no conditions should breach.

Stop paying rent and you can sell gas for 30 cents/gallon less.

Here's how to f..k with all the oil companies at once-For
one week, nobody buy plastic from the east, (no shop at walmart) and don't buy gas-If you live in say, San Francisco or London, this is easy. If you live in sayyyyy Kansas or Texas, it will be a bit harder.
But, if everyone pulled a Parmar at once, maybe. Gauranteed-the ripples created would send a clear message..(The monkeys can throw shit, the robots can rest, and the sheep need their coats back.
