I'm still curious why there are so many attendants? Why not drive the prices down by allowing customers to pump their own gas? It would be great to pull up to a station, pay at the pump, pump gas, and go; instead of pulling up to a pump and have to wait for an attendant stroll over, giving you chups for inconveniencing their day to come pump your gas.

"Lipstick on a pig; its still a pig." Putting new outfit on a service station does'nt make it any easier for the consumers who have to purchase fuel on a daily basis. With adjustments being made to the price of crude in the fuel market, i wonder when Antigua will be lucky to see an adjustment of a lesser price per gallon?

Notes From A Native Son Of The Rock. Another North Atlantic Privateer continues the legacy of trading places amongst these Caribbean Islands and sadly the writer, bereft of history, notes that Antigua makes History. How do we rid ourselves of such ignorance in the 21st Century, some thirty years into Independence? Did this writer not know that these islands traded allegiance, some several times, to the North Atlantic Nations for Centuries?

It just superficial. The stations are sticking to their cash only payment systems. In Guadeloupe and Martinique you can drive up to a pump and stick in you're credit or debit card to pay for gas. Here you need cash or cheque if you have an account with the gas station. Difficult for people who actually work on a monthly budget when you need to reconcile your monthly statements.

Texaco has abandoned the Antiguan market. That's interesting.

fnspr, I found myself pondering the same think. Specifically I am trying to figure what benefit this brings the consumers who are hit hard by the high fuel prices

It is too early to say; however, it is possible that the new company (Rubis) will provide better pay, more benefits (employee, social and environmental), better efficiency, etc.
