Did you hear about this guy who refused to sell gas, to protest high gas prices?

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/05/25/gasprice.protest.ap/index.html

"... he has not turned a profit in 30 months because gas margins are razor thin and he cannot sell enough volume to compensate." So he's basically going on strike.

This was on the front page of CNN today. The station is a few miles away from here.

Edit:
The article that Cyn linked to explains a lot about where the money goes and why gas stations aren't making any money off of gas.

There are also some in Milwaukee doing that. This article talks about a station close to Mom's house:
