The shrinking number of gas stations is also bad news for drivers, reducing both convenience and competition, which could lead to even higher gasoline prices. It's terrible for consumers.

  This is a calculated strategy by big oil.

  Gas stations are going the way of horse and buggy. Exxon is selling off all their stations, and ARCO is selling off all their west coast stations.
  Exxon is currently advertising their new electric car battery. Those who got gas expensive, the SUV group now have $65,000 cars that they still owe $40,000 and can't give them away.
  Karma does come in all colors!!

  This is a solid business move. First, when gas hits $10 or more per gallon before alternative vehicles are available and affordable, this will ensure a "shortage" and a feeling of panic and urgency that will make you eager and thankful to pay "only" ten bucks a gallon.
  Secondly, it locks in solid and rising profit while cutting back "gas" stations and replacing them with other retail outlets. So our costs in adapting to change are not only covered, but our profits are insured!
  McCain knows this and has promised tax incentives to help oil companies in the change over period. He understands the needs of business.
