Price War Between Detroit Gas Station Owners Turns Deadly
Friday , November 16, 2007
DETROIT —
A fight over prices between two gas-station owners turned deadly Friday morning when one pulled a gun and fired four shots, killing the other, the Detroit Free Press reports.
When one of the men lowered his price for unleaded regular gasoline to $2.93 a gallon, the owner of the gas station across the street, where it was selling for $2.96, confronted the man.
A fistfight started between the men, when the owner of the gas station who lowered the prices fired a handgun, police said.

A few smaller companys around here furnish cars to their employees. A friend of mine who rides, he's a probate for the Angels actually, anyway he works for a food service here locally and they gave him a small work car to drive.... A cuple other friends I have are furnished company pick up trucks for their jobs.... Wish I had one!! LOL!

48.5 cents is a rip off...........I am negotiating for a job, and the mileage is the big issue. I simply don't want to and cannot afford to buy a car for a company. They say I will be driving 35k a year! Mileage reimbursment is fin for occassional use, as it was intended.
If it was fair, the government would not have set it at $48.5. Do the math.
AAA says a car at 60k miles is basically worthless.....can't sell it or get much of a trade in. So, with depreciation, oil changes, tires, repairs the little difference that is left from the 48.5 vanishes. I hate mileage reimbursment.............why anyone should have to use a personal vehicle or provide a personal vehicle for work upsets me.
BTW, get in an accident in the mileage reimbursment vehicle while on work and see what you insurance says.........your insurance is based on personal use.....they will deny any claims related to company use unless you have it on your policy.
Arggg..........

| The OL gets paid about 48-cents a mile too. But, we still deduct mileage on our taxes...

I hope you tell Uncle Sam you use the car 85% for business, depreciate the hell out of it, and claim 85% of the gas, insurance and maintenance costs...I never told Uncle Sam I was reinbursed for anything...Accountant said your in sales...We can do anything... And we did...Don't forget your cell phone either... Hmmm... My accountant told me I was better off just to claim mileage than to deduct gas, insurance, and mainten.. But you can bet I'm gonna ask again which way to go.......
