My buddy owns a station , when he first started about 8 years ago, he explained how much he makes on gas. He was making like .02 on reg, .05 on plus, and .08 on super, this is per gallon. He has to pay for every delivery,or no next delivery, he sometimes gets 3 a week. Just 2 weeks ago he got a delivery with a bill for that one fill up of 45, 000 smackers. He pays more for his gas, than the same branded station in the next town because he is independant.

This is dead on. I've talked to some local station owners and even with the sky high prices they're nearly operating at a loss.
