[AT] Fuel prices

[Bob McNitt]

Yep, Good old NYS taxes. Our prices here are also heavily impacted by what I 
call the local delivery cartel that supplies the majority of stations in our 
area.. For example, the local KwikFill here is charging $2.08 for RU, while 
just to our south the Kwikfill in Binghamton NY is $1.89.
