Lee Franey, owner of the Franey's Food Mart convenience store chain in Owensboro, said customers are not pleased with the gas prices. I've never seem them this high. My cost went up 3 cents a gallon last night. Kalra said the high prices also pinch his business. When prices go up, people don't want to drive too much, and they want to save money.
People have their limits.
The store has no choice but to raise gas prices, Paramjeet Kalra said. Storm said she was not impressed by oil industry claims of low gasoline supplies. I think they're just keeping it on reserve. Marian Bennett, who was filling her tank at the Franey's Food Mart at J.R. Miller Boulevard and 25th Street, said she was not surprised by the industry's move to raise gas prices. The prices go up for the weekend or for the summer.
