After 48 years, gas station owner Reynold Glady may have served his last customer, saying he can no longer go along with rising prices that surpassed $5 a gallon.
Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., slams President Biden’s policies for driving up the price of energy.
"I’ve served their product, but I refuse to do it anymore, because they’re only getting richer," he said. "Enough is enough," Gladu said. "People shouldn’t have to pay these prices to go to work, to go to church, or to do whatever they have to do. It seems like the oil industry is in this together."

"Service stations are individually owned and price their fuel based on local market competition and other business factors," ExxonMobil Corp. operations media manager Julie King told the Gazette. "Prices at the pump are influenced by the price of crude, and wholesale price of products which fluctuate according to demand and supply factors – such as economic conditions and seasonal factors, fuel production, inventory levels, storage and transportation cost.
King also said that a wholesaler supplies Mobil gas, and Gladu acknowledged this. Nevertheless, he accused the oil industry of being "in this together" and that "enough is enough."
