"Little Rock is in a gas war," he said. Fletcher, who operates two Shell stations in Russellville and a Pottsville location, said the bigger national gas retailers are able to sustain losses in certain markets created by price decrease matching.

Mark Fletcher of Fletcher Oil Co., which operates Shell gas stations and convenience stores in the area, said Wednesday that his employees at convenience stores and gas stations have seen a slight increase in drive-offs as well as an increase in the amount of insufficient, or bad checks, received.
