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
