Reminds me of my friend Tim who took over a Shell Gas/Service business.
Captive audience in a very affluent town but Shell drove him insane.
Tim used to gas up his personal vehicles from a competitor in a nearby town because it was cheaper than pumping his own product.
Took him a couple of years but he managed to buy out of the Shell contract and he's making a very nice living now.
