We just got handed an assignment to interview a local oil industry representative who works for one of the major brand names. This has to take place in a hurry to meet a publication's deadline. What I'm looking for are serious questions that you, as a consumer, would ask about:

1. the industry as a whole
2. the marketing of gasoline
3. the marketing of convenience stores and vendors that are attached to stations
4. anything else about station operations
5. and, of course, pricing issues

Any help you can offer is appreciated.
