Putting Up The 'For Shale' Sign

by Roland, the Gunslinger on Fri 13 Jun 2008 08:59 PM EDT

Despite the pain at the pump for consumers, the retail side of the gasoline business isn't that profitable, if at all. Gas station owners have known this all along.

(Somebody wanna clue Maxine in, please? - Roland)
