My dealer buy price is $3.81 today. That's without paying taxes, freight, merchant services (credit card processing) or armored car fees, sales and use, underground tank storage tax, etc etc. Street price is therefore $5.11 which includes $.87 in fees and cost of sale. Margin is around $.30 which goes to pay fixed costs and return a profit over break even, which is probably in in the neighborhood of 150,000 gallons a month for a full size gas station.

 Surprisingly, the price of gas was all over the place in the SF Bay area. Anywhere from maybe $5.11 to $5.95. Shocking for this East TN boy. My local station this morning was $3.49.

The state tax increase on the gas excise tax, and huge increase on diesel sales and use tax caused pricing to go haywire on July 1. The gyrations are good for the alert gas station dealer. Pricing has settled down now, for the most part.

Last week we drove from Houston to Santa Barbara. As you’d expect prices generally increased along the way. In Santa Barbara there is a 40cpg up charge for using credit. Or if you like, a discount for cash making it 5.71 for SUL.

$3.48 for reg today. The price hasn't varied much from that for the last week.
If it stays there...I'm happy.

^^^ My Propella will go 60 miles on one charge.
Not sure how much one charge costs me...but it's about the same as charging a smartphone.

$2.81 for 87 in Henderson K. today and $3.33 for 92 octane. Sams in Indiana was $3.41 for 87 and $4.08 for 93. Going in the right direction, I think.

Enjoy it while you can. Saudi Arabia is cutting production because of the Strategic Reserves release...meanwhile, we are quickly emptying the Reserves. What then? Also, what about natural gas this winter?
Now, is there a strategic reserve for bacon and eggs so we can get a dollar off of those. Breakfast prices are now crazy.
