But rural highway gas stations represent a small fraction of all gas service. Instead, you need DC fast charging where you travel: on the long distance arteries where your car can't otherwise reach. You're car is always charged, there's little value to topping up at the shopping areas or whatever. In practice, consumer EVs almost universally charge at home and "never" just "run out" of charge. Gas stations are situated near population centers, because you tend to run out of gas wherever you're driving, and you drive where you live. They're different facilities though, and in different places. On a holiday weekend we’d sell 12,000 gal of gas on a Friday, make $800 on the gas and $30,000 (after COGS) on in store sales. Youd be surprised how many people paid $5 for a bottle of mustard they could buy for $2 at Safeway. It all came down to in store sales where mark ups were 50-100%. I would get calls from corporate for $0.03/gal adjustments several times a day if gas prices were volatile. The supply chain for gas captures margins, not the gas stations. Consumers are incredibly price sensitive and will drive 19 min to save $0.05/gal (save $0.75 and burn $0.60 of gas in the process). I could see those as double for an independent station. When I did the books margins were 0.075/gal for regular and 0.013/gal (edit: should be 0.13/gal) for premium. Independent stations have much higher margins - you pay heavily for branding. It’s been a long time since I was close to the numbers but there are a lot of variables.
It was very revealing when combined with CC transaction data that was also purchased.Ģ different sets of books and the author of this doesn't even bother mentioning it. Years later, after sitting down with my father, I got access to cell phone movement data overlaid on gas stations. To this day, if I want to get a low or zero interest crowdsourced loan from a squad of Indians to go open a gas station or small convenience store, I should have no trouble doing so. He explained to me that there are Indians who don't pay the tax man and pocket the cash and asked me to never be one of those.
He sat me at a Denny's across from a gas station, he told me to watch the people going into the store and count the items they walked out with. My father replied "We don't break the law." I used to ask my father why we didn't go get a "Brown" loan from a group of Indians and then go open a small business. Now guess which group of people runs these businesses? The reason gas stations run aggressively on cash is because they're running two different sets of books a majority of the time.
