Phoenix gas station owner sells gas 50 cents a gallon cheaper than what he buys it for to help custo

Jaswiendre Singh, who runs the business at the corner of Osborn Road and 20th Street, showed Arizona’s Family on Wednesday that he buys gas from a supplier for $5.66 per gallon but sells it for just $5.19 per gallon.

Singh started offering discounts as early as March, decreasing the gas station’s purchase price by 10 cents. But with gas prices still on the rise, he wanted to help even more.

“[I do it] to give a break to the customer and my community,” Singh told Arizona’s Family. “People don’t have the money right now.

“My mother and my father did teach us to help if you have something,” he continued. “If you have something you have to share with other people.”

My Grandfather owned a service station (remember them?).He sold gas at cost and limited how much you could buy depending on how far you had to drive to work(small town). The competition down the road raised his prices. Guess who still had a lucrative business the next year. He had loyal customers for years and always treated people well. A very kind man.
