The markup at the FBO level is generally about $1. The marinas here are
all connected to gas stations and pump from the same tank. They still
charge a lot more if you pump it into a boat instead of a car.

Anyway, avitaion fuel prices probably have more markup at the FBO level
than actual petoleum cost.



That may or may not be true.

The line up at an auto-gasoline station is more or less continuous
throughout the day, every day. Big volume. Good deals from the
wholesaler.

I am not sure that can be said at the GA FBO. Is his volume great enough
that the wholesaler is chomping at the bit to supply him?

I don't know the GA FBO business, but I know of marinas in this neck of
the woods where their "wholesale" COST per gallon (okay, per litre) is
actually similar to what the same unleaded gas costs the
*motorist-at-the-pump" on the highway.... simply because their volume is
(relatively) too low to be worth the delivery-truck's bother.
