Stagnant Gas
This highly regulated industry is anything but a convenience, with medium volatility driving demand in a declining industry where profitability is poor. New entrants are kept at bay with medium barriers being the substantial capital costs involved in obtaining a gasoline station, and the level of globalization needed ensure that concentration is at the upper end of the low range. No real sparks in the technology department as changes incurred are no way near as exciting as the price of gasoline itself.
