Sister Jabou:
This is a great idea. Here in Raleigh, I have noticed very few Exxon or Mobile Gas Station,
though there are many convenient stores that sell gas. Maybe Exxon and Mobile sell
their gas to these independent stores.
However, I will not buy gas from either of this two giant killers.
Naphiyo,
Comrade Jassey-Conteh
