Of course I see the price before taxes and fees, I am assuming you are carrying off brand petro (independent refinery petro). I am with a major brand of gas, and the distributor is not making .20 cent per gallon on me. I have many friends in the business both ends dist. and retail, and retailers making .05 a gallon is average that has been the case for many many years. You can make higher margins with a big dip or big highs in the prices, but when you do this everyday 24/7 365 you figure averages not extremes.
