yup, my friend owns a Sunoco station, been in the family for over 50 years.
He goes by the Tedeschi in Eastham that sells Sunoco, they sell it for less than Sunoco bills him???
He calls, .. the answer, you are an Independent, they are a chain, two different wholesale levels. He marks up a dime or so a gallon on his Full service island, and a few cents on the self serve.
He makes more on inspections than the gas and oil change end.
If it wasn't for his Dad, he's sell out to the chain, or lease it out... more money in it that way.
And yeah, the CC companies, makes more on the gas he sells than he does.
Whacked, is right.
almost as profitable as making and sellin plugs
