I don't wanna break the bad news to you guys that gas station owners really don't make more than 20 cents a gallon tops and even less when you factor in credit card fees and swipe fees but go ahead rant on. Gas is a loss leader to get people in the store to buy high margin snacks, I actually have a store that loses money on gas to compete with a corporate owned shell station across the street. Do you know if you fill up 4 gallons or less which many people do I lose money after the swipe fee and credit card %. I'm not complaining I still do great but huge misconception on what you think is made per gallon. I'll tell you the real winner,the us government making a nice 39 cents per gallon in tax,almost 2-3x what I make while investing $0 of their own.

Yep, that's why it always cracked me up when the Dem's did their "big oil bad" dog and pony show during the Bush years.

Yeah but I bet you're making a killing on that fried chicken right?
