+Support, encourages a more PROFITABLE passive RP

Neutral tending to a -support atm. Since cars are so popular and basically a requirement at this point, I'd be afraid to see privatised gas stations. There would be no restriction stopping people from charging insane prices for repairs or petrol and you can just get a mate to buy the other petrol station and cause major inconveniences to all commuters (basically everyone). I think it would also drive new players away, the ones who can hardly afford a car, let alone the current petrol/repair prices. So slapping another fee on top of that wouldn't be too good for them. Also, getting petrol and repairs are generally quick things - drive in and drive out. Will we now have big queues blocking roads waiting for others to pay the entry fee?

Too easy to create a monopoly with this. Don't see how charging more money for something is a good RP.

+Support the mechanic job might actually be used in it's proper role other than drifting around and repairing his car

id support the privatisation of one but not 2 gas stations.
Afterall its already possible to purchase the gas station building and theres no regulation prohibiting your from decorating it. So people wantign to conduct a propper passive rp already have this option. I think it would just add unescesary tension if 2 people alone could control gas prices and therefore put a significant limit on vehicle use. Afterall to much of our communitys passive RP is focused around the money. Money is a neat factor but i prefer to have somehwat decent and realistc pricing (including in my own rps) rather then people perhaps charging your 5k for a refuel. And i have littledoubt that this could happen as we have plenty of unexperienced people trying to rob people for thousands or carjackign for 10grand (regardless of the rules). If both the muggers and the victims are unaware of rules regulating this (which they quite often are) itll just turn nasty. Same could easily happen to the gas stations.
If wed implement a system like that the prices would need to be regulated through an ingame limit (eg. a command which will only accept a certain maximum prices)

Somebody could Build fences around both stations and Charge 10k to enter or just lock everyone out.

There's some compelling arguments against it, though +support for one reason really, you can just buy petrol cans off the market and refill yourself, meaning even if a privatized gas station decides to charge for the privilege of use there's going to be a cap price, otherwise who would use it..

10k is the absolute maximum someone could change for a full tank otherwise buying gas cans would be cheaper

RE: Allow privatizing of the gas stations - Lord Octagon - May 4, 2018
All the commies here wanting price regulation, let the market do it's work. If the prices are too high, consumers don't purchase, and the owner will be forced to lower the prices.
+Support, gives my SEC something to do (make Shell publicly traded on the market, thx).

It would have to be less than 10k, cause you'd have to pay for the actual IG fuel at the pump. But then again it perhaps they can't be bothered to spam F1 for canisters.
