The article goes out of its way to avoid identifying the owners-or maybe no one knows. But LI-ers know that gas stations are owned and operated by Turks, nearly without exception. These Turks have been in and out of trouble for years, but they continue to prosper. The punishment for selling regular as high test? A maximum $25,000 fine.

A side note-one gas station in Riverhead,NY displayed a large Turkish flag in the window for several months. What are you going to do, boycott that station? You'll only have to buy gas from his cousin.
