I heard the same from a close friend whose family ran 3-4 gas stations.

She said they essentially broke even on gas (something like 1-3 cents of profit per gallon), but made all their money on items inside (she/her family was Asian, so they made a killing cuz they had an asian-styled buffet in their gas station in a small town in Indiana, the only one of its kind for miles)

small town in Indiana

I was on the north side of Indianapolis, the wealthier side of town that could afford a 30% markup on a gallon of full-serve gas.

Small Indiana town? Oh, yeah, I’d imagine they’d make a killing versus hot dogs that have been sitting on that roller thing all day. :-)
