In the US it is common for FBOs to mark up fuel $1-2 and sometimes even more
at the large airports.

How much of that $4.55 is the FBO making? Here in the US, the FBO

markup
is
much larger than the refining margin.


I don't know. I imagine it's not much. But either way, the point is

simply
that the much smaller aviation market here for Avgas drives up prices.
