(Ankeny, IA) — The C-E-O of the Ankeny-based Casey’s convenience store chain talked about gas prices during the quarterly conference call for investors. Darren Rebelez said Wednesday it is constantly changing, making it an “extremely volatile environment right now.” The company reported that the number of gallons of gas sold in the fourth quarter was up one-point-five percent and the margin was 36-point-two cents a gallon despite the volatility of gas pricing. Triple-A Iowa reports the average cost of a gallon of gas here is four dollars, 68 cents a gallon. Rebelez says people are backing off on purchases in the areas where the gas price is the highest.
