Product Description
by Dave Nassaney (Author)
Dave Nassaney has been the owner of 6 gas stations in California since 1976. He comes from a long line of gas station owners in his family. In 1945, his father opened his first gas station right out of the war in the Bronx, NY. He moved the family to California in 1960 to get away from the cold. One by one, family members would come to visit, and never leave because they loved the weather, so Dave's dad would set them up with their own gas stations. It seemed like all his uncles, cousins, brothers and nephews had a gas station, including Dave. After 45-years at the same location in Castaic Lake, Dave is now the only family member left in the business. He's seen a lot of changes over the years, including dealers finally able to buy the land their gas stations sit on from the oil companies. That finally helped profitability a lot. This book is an interesting collection of oil company secret practices, dealer confessions of how and why prices are the way they are, as well as some funny, sad and unbelievable stories. This book should help you gain a better perspective from a 46-year gas station veteran who frequently appears as an expert on ABC, NBC, CBS & FOX TV morning shows.
