I don't think so. I paid $29,750.00 for an 8000 gallon load of gasoline this morning which averages out to $3.75 a gallon. I am currently at $3.929 per gallon on the pump, back out $.06 cook (CROOK) county fuel tax and $.089 credit card processing fee (nobody ever pays with cash anymore) that leaves me with WHOOPING $.04 cents net profit per gallon. And when a pin pad goes out on a pump it costs me $1050.00 per pump (And I have 9 pumps) to replace it with labor and programming so don't think the selling dealer is screwing anybody. I paid $1.50 per gallon and sold it for $ 1.60 a gallon back in 1985 when I bought the Station that I have owned for 37 years. I made $.10 a gallon in 1985 and it's $3.93 a gallon in 2022 and I'm netting $.04 it just doesn't seem right. So don't think it is the selling dealer making all the money. I'll will get off my soap box now. Bill
