agreed!

I have a buddy that owns a gas station, he makes 5 cents on each gallon, so for every $20 you spend in fuel he makes 1$, to run the business, keep the pumps on, lights and employees. So when I fill up my truck (40 gal) he only makes 2$ off me. When I fill up my 24yr old civic he makes .65 cents (I don't let it get below 1/2 on that car)

The distributor is about the same margin. But the state and feds take as much as 40 cents per gallon.
