Default Gas prices

The prices I am discussing currently is off brand petro but I am also a CHEVRON distributor and can get any other brand I want.

Wanna talk branded fuel?
Chevron rack price on unleaded is $1.35 today. So what's that? Another $.06 more than unbranded?? Chevron down the road is $2.22 and I would have paid $1.74 for it after taxes and fees. So he's still making $.30+ per gallon on BRANDED fuel. And that's with a Super One half a mile down the road selling for a lot less than him.

I choose not to sell much fuel to retailers Bc most of them don't pay their bills on time. Or they spend all the money they made selling MY fuel on their inside store products then can't pay their bill. Too much exposure to make $600-700 on $25,000.00 worth of fuel. I sell to oilfield companies and end users with higher mark ups. But I common carry for big distributors and haul fuel to convenience stores/truck stops all over the south for freight. Probably 30-40 different retailers I haul to and I guarantee you they are all making at least $.10/gallon.

Not trying to be a smart a s s, just stating the facts. This is what I do for a living.

Fact is I have had 3 different distributors over the last 18 years, and like the other guy stated .05 is a average profit on a gallon of gas no matter who is bringing it to you. Not trying to be a smart@@ just stating fact.

Sounds like you are describing you bulldog, I do know a lot about rods and reels. You are the expert on helicopter and lawyers, go read your gauge and make people mad on the internet you little worm.

East side boy's didn't get "katrina" rich.....There are what we will call people who got "katrina" rich......Real "people" couldn't keep up their business because of curfews and no elictric and water much less sewage and no customers. I couldn't go back to work for a month at least and I didn't take a dime from your precious tax money. And I didn't drink gin n juice I had OLD CROW and JIM BEAM......

Guys

I've worked in the Eagleford Shale area of SW TX for 11 months now. It's starting to get VERY SCAREY.. And This place is BOOOOMMING.... But Oil companies are looking at the cost of getting oil and gas out of the ground. If that is too high. Do NOT pass go. Do Not collect money. When It went below 50 this week. its been a slaughter.

Company I'm contracted to is laying off constr. site people left and right.

IF I say If they want to raise taxes 10 cents a gallon and put it on a sliding scale. Every dime gas goes up a penny comes off the tax and the tax bill states all $ goes to highways and bridges and that nothing can be added or taken out of the bill at any time .i would support it. But no politician has the Nads to write and push that kind of bill.
