Independent rural petrol stations are facing an increasing battle just to survive, as they struggle to compete with their bigger rivals.
Many of the stations also act as convenience stores in their local communities, but dozens have closed over the last few years, in yet another blow to the rural economy.
Gordon Moore, pictured, who owns the Border Reiver Station in Knowesgate, Northumberland, said the margin on fuel from his station is tiny.
Tom Vickers and Ian Pearson were the power behind the Alnmouth throne in the SG Wealth Management Northumberland League, as they led the champions to a tight 21-run win over visitors Blagdon Park.
Vickers cracked a superb 83, and with Pearson also passing the half-century mark, the opening stand set the tone for the home side's impressive score of 224.
But Russell Hughes was not to be outdone as he started Park's run chase in the best of fashions with an opening 79.
Stoke Potters 49, Berwick 41
The Berwick Bandits put in a mammoth performance last night at the Premier League's current third-placed team, the Stoke Potters holding them close for all 15 heats.
The match could well have been in Berwick's bag with races to spare had the usually 100% reliable Josef Franc's engine finished all its races.
Berwick's top two Czechs, Michal Makovsky and Josef Franc opened their Premier League Pairs' Championship with a gutsy opening ride, but found the going tough later on, missing out on success this season.
In their first race, Heat Three, Makovsky made a blistering gate to lead early on, with Franc stuck fast in third against the Rye House pair of Chris Neath and Linus Sundstrom with the latter making the Bandits leader battle hard all the way for his four points.

Rhodes was arrested and when he appeared at Stroud Magistrates Court in Gloucestershire on June 3 he pleaded guilty to a total of 16 offences - eight distraction burglaries, and eight frauds.
Berwick's Czech duo Michal Makovsky and Josef Franc represent the club at the Premier League Pairs Championship tonight at Somerset's Oak Tree Arena.
The Bandits pair line up in an especially tough looking Group One against favourites King's Lynn, home side Somerset as well as Rye House and Scunthorpe with the top two from both groups going into two semi-finals.
British Speedway Promoters' Association chairman Peter Toogood said: "It's always a good event but when you look at the line-up this has all the makings of a sensational night of racing.
A sixth-former from Berwick has been acknowledged as one of the best young leaders in the region.
Marcus Weeks, from Longridge Towers School, won a leadership award at the Young Enterprise North East awards for his work as managing director of school business project TQ Clothing.

Berwick children have been encouraging people to think more about the environment.
Children's authors Mick Manning and Brita Granstrom have dedicated their latest book to the pupils of Holy Trinity First School after being impressed by the way the students care for the planet.
The pair, who have been writing and illustrating award-winning children's fiction together for more than 15 years, visited pupils to thank them for inspiring the new book, entitled Planet Patrol .
