Default Gas pumps closed to protest prices

MEQUON, Wis., April 24 (UPI) - The owner of a Mequon, Wis., gas station turned off his pumps Thursday and said they will remain shut down for 24 hours to protest high fuel prices.Harvey Pollack, owner of Towne Market Mobil, said he decided to refrain from selling gasoline for 24 hours to show solidarity with customers fed up with high gas prices, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported Thursday.He said a gallon of regular unleaded cost $3.69 at his station Wednesday."I want our customers to know that we're with them and we're against the high prices as much as anything," Pollack told the Journal-Sentinel.Some of Pollack's regular customers applauded the effort."I'm with the fact that he wants to do something; I just wish there was more we could do," said Karen Precourt, who said it sometimes costs $50 to fill her Chevy TrailBlazer with gas.
