What is left of the little guy gas stations are going to be squeezed out in the next 10 years.

1. I don't think there are many "little guy gas stations" left.
At least not the way they used to be.

I live in a town with a population of about 8,000 that is a couple dozen miles west of downtown Milwaukee. We have 3 gas stations in town: a Citgo, a BP and a Mobil. All are independently owned and operated. They benefit from group buying power of their parent companies, yet still are the "little guy".

I guess I'm just not seeing how this will hurt any of them.
