Some gas stations victims of high prices

NEW YORK Michael Fox of the Gasoline and Automotive Service Dealers of America says it's a matter of cash flow for the dealer.

Fox says with prices going up, retailers don't have the money to buy the gas. He says the price of gas for service-station owners has gone up nearly 80 percent in the past few months.

Fox says it used to cost $15,000 to $25,000 to fill a tanker with 9,000 gallons of gas. Today, it costs $30,000 to $40,000.

Fox says retailers earn about 12 cents per gallon of gas before credit card and station expenses.
