I choose not to sell much fuel to retailers Bc most of them don't pay their bills on time.

I sell to oilfield companies and end users with higher mark ups. But I common carry for big distributors and haul fuel to convenience stores/truck stops all over the south for freight. Probably 30-40 different retailers I haul to and I guarantee you they are all making at least $.10/gallon.
Wanna talk branded fuel?
Chevron rack price on unleaded is $1.35 today. So what's that? Another $.06 more than unbranded?? Chevron down the road is $2.22 and I would have paid $1.74 for it after taxes and fees. So he's still making $.30+ per gallon on BRANDED fuel. And that's with a Super One half a mile down the road selling for a lot less than him.
Not trying to be a smart a s s, just stating the facts. This is what I do for a living.

Fact is I have had 3 different distributors over the last 18 years, and like the other guy stated .05 is a average profit on a gallon of gas no matter who is bringing it to you. Not trying to be a smart@@ just stating fact.
