Yes, if I understand your statement/question, there are people who buy fuel based upon color. Did you not read the OP's post?

As to the rant part, you may be partially correct. Let's do a quick survey of those running the fuel station where you last fueled up. For me, it was a Shell station in Houston, TX where I was able to roll my car into when it threw a serpentine belt. When I asked the lady behind the counter if she knew a mechanic she just shook her head. I asked if she knew if there were any auto repair facilities nearby and she shook her head. I asked what exit we were at off I-45 and she shook her head. I don't know what she did know but maybe she could have told me if the gum was included in the 2-for-1 candy special.
