Actually I figured it out. When I bought my computer and set it up I
pulled right out of my ass. No doubt others have too.

Kevin, Newps, Cory:
Thank you for your help.

I've been to FBO's that sell autogas. It seems to cost more than the


local gas station, and should be getting state road tax back. I

imagine
the fuel concession is marking it up considerably. I've also been
concerned about the gas getting old as most FBOs don't seem to

turn-over
their cargas very fast.


Of course it would cost more. The gas station down the street would go
out of business pretty quick if they sold the amount of gas the FBO
does.

Actually most gas stations these days don't make their money selling gas,
they make it selling cigarettes, lottery tickets, and twinkies. That's where
the margin is- gas is often sold quite close to cost.

Movie theaters aren't much different. A friend of a friend owns a theater,
and he says that popcorn and soda is where his profits come from. Ticket
sales just barely cover the costs of showing the movie.

This was also the case back in the 60s, only they made their money from
maintenance work back then. I worked for a few years at an Esso station. The
owner took the prize several years in a row for the most gas sold, yet he told
me that he barely broke even on gas sales.

That's a story I keep hearing but if it were true why have 99.9% of gas
stations gone to the pay-at-the-pump? Seems to me if you have to go inside
to pay for your gas you are much more likely to pick up a snack or soda
while you are in there.

Labor cost for gas goes to zero, lots of people still go in to grab
something while the tank fills.
