Ethiclal? Yes or no?
To answer your question I looked in the mirror. How would I feel if my wife and kids were bidding for that five gallons of gas against a wealthy twenty year old driving a Mercedes right behind them. Would the person selling the gas be helping or taking advantage of the situation?
A businessman might sell gas for a profit, a person that wants to be perceived as helpful might sell gas at a break even point, but a real man would provide for those in need and only ask that the favor be passed forward. It is the boomerang affect, what goes around comes around. Someday I will be that person needing help.
