If you would like to arrange to give a donation in exchange for pumping your gas, I'm sure Rasoul would be happy to work with you on that.

(and if you're in the market for one of the kitschy backlit pictures of a waterfall where it looks sort of like the water is actually flowing, they have a great selection) why does it cost less?

That being said, if I did know, I'd stay as far away from this place at this time as humanly possible. I get what he's trying to accomplish here, but I think all he's really going to do is create a bit of a frenzy, and not really get his name out there any more than it already is. People are going to come for the cheap (cheaper) gas, but I doubt they'll be paying a bit of attention to why it costs less. I could be totally wrong though, and frankly, I hope I am.

The "Food Mart Texaco" at 953 S. High Street is owned by Holtzman. That's the HQ for Royal Cab. So I was right the first time. The “Food Mart Texaco” at 953 S. High Street is owned by Holtzman.
