Here goes the price of gas again

[UserRemoved1]

Anyone hear of the goob in Milford who shut his station down "because he was sick of people paying high prices...shuts the pumps dead and puts a sign on them, people drive away shaking their heads.. Says he makes .04 per gallon. Guy says at the end of the article that he'll turn the pumps back on if Gas goes over $2.40 a gallon.

He will be open soon then.

2.85-3.00 by Memorial day, very real, from what my bud who owns a station told me.

My buddy owns a station, and that is all he makes on a gallon is 3-4 cents./gal Hey if the gov. is so concerned about the high prices maybe on holiday weekends they should dump there share of the pie and get rid of the taxes. The taxes alone equate to .30 + per gallon.

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
