European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - July 29, 1968, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 10 the stars and stripes to the editor monday july 29,1968 yes and Esso Gas until recently we had to Pur Chase Esso Coupon booklets from yes and drive to the Ger Man Esso stations to tank up. Now yes has their own Esso pumps but Are still charging the same Price for Esso Gas. I believe yes does not have the overhead that Esso a Commer Cial outfit has and that the Price for the Esso coupons should be reduced to the Sam level of profit yes enjoyed when German Esso station were the Only outlets. Should not the military customers reap a dividend George Deojay Darmstadt Germany editor s note yes re plies the sell Price of Esso gasoline through yes has Bee established at a level required to generate the net profit objective established for the european Exchange system to support welfare funds.  of Esso gasoline at yes directly operated serv ice stations merely provides a added convenience for yes patrons. The Point of Sale Whethe yes service station or Esso station does not enter in to the picture since the local Economy station receives a fee for each liter of gasoline pumped from the Oil company to defray its operating expenses. The establishment of Sepa rate prices for Esso gasoline would cause confusion and in convenience to the customer since it would prevent the redemption of one Coupon to both yes stations and local Economy stations. Also it is highly questionable whether the Oil company would agree to the continued availability of Esso gasoline at be stations if it were offered at a Price different from that at local Economy stations.
