OnCue Express CEO Jim Griffith spoke with FOX Business Network’s (FBN) Stuart Varney about starting a gas price war in Oklahoma City. Griffith’s gas station is the first station in the country to sell gas for less than $2.00 in years, which Griffith said they were able to do because “we bring new loads to our stores daily, so we adjust a lot quicker than most locations to the changing prices.” He added, “we will watch the market and see what happens” regarding possibly lowering prices further. When asked whether the low prices hurt OnCue’s bottom line, Griffith responded, “I’m not losing money.”
