Rack Price on Unleaded today is $1.297 +
.384(taxes) +.003 (fees)=$1.684

The distributor probably makes $.08-.10 a gallon off him so he's getting it for $1.78-$1.80/gallon.

But if he's only adding $.05 to it, he must be moving a whole lot of fuel or getting screwed by his distributor. Tell him to call me!!

This is in AR, as well a few yrs ago when fuel was ALOT more, so maybe not TODAY, he said his biggest competitor was walmart in the little town hes in, and he does what he can to be competitive. Ron has no reason to feed me a line, I believe him. If I can I do not buy fuel from walmart
