Fuel cost

[JunKeBluB2]

OK I thought it might be time for a store owner who sales fuel to post up no one has mentioned us yet but I thought I'd tell about our side of the coin. PLEASE don't blame us as a whole (even though some will pad the price when the market goes up!) we try to keep the prices competitive in our local area, but we don't make any real profit on gas & fuel sales. Here's is an example of my last load delivered 7012 gallons of gas @ $3.0595 cost per gallon, price at the pump $3.099 profit of .0395 per gallon for total of $276.97, 998 gallons of diesel @ $3.4935 cost per gallon, price at the pump $3.599 profit of .01055 per gallon for total of $105.29. So I have a total cost of $24939.73 and a profit of $382.26 thats 1.5% profit, it doesn't even pay the power to run the pumps & the pump & canopy lights and Lord help if we have a couple of drive offs because it shoots our little profit to HELL! Also it doesn't matter if we sale it our not our supplier wants his $$$$$ anyway. I could ramble on & on about the fuel market how it's priced, when it's priced, state & federal taxes, super-fund fees, environmental fees, split load fees, off load pump fees, tank & line test fees, etc etc etc but I've vented enough. Sorry for the length, but the MORONS that come to our store just PISS ME OFF TALKING GAS PRICES and they don't have a CLUE! Just remember the words of an old TV ad......

HAPPY MOTORING !
