BUSH BERNARD, TENNESSEAN - As average prices for regular unleaded topped the $2 mark in Nashville yesterday, there's been a growing demand for the number 2 from some convenience-store and gas-station owners, said Bobby Joslin of Joslin and Son Sign Co. "The large numbers cost about $150 each, so stores don't keep a large inventory of them around," Joslin said yesterday. . .
A few rural stations may run into problems with older mechanical pumps that don't have digital readouts and can't display revolving prices higher than $1.99 a gallon.
