It may not be the drive to the stand that is throwing sales off maybe
they just dont have the money to spend after filling up the tank. I started

me 37 bucks to fill up the truck and get 5 gallons for the tractor I can
tell you I will be eating pinto beans and corn bread for a few days to cover
the cost of that fuel .
