I do not want to be mean but I find it extremely hard, I do not have cold hard facts though, that gas stations break even on their sales, so all those guys that do not have stores with their stations, and have the same price as the guys that do have them, are just in the business to break even at best?
I believe the margin is about the same across the board on all products, in fact in a lot of gas station stores you can get milk extremely cheaper than supermarkets, I did just yesterday 1% hood milk in store $3.29 I paid, (ridiculous I know but cheapest i can find in my little part of RI) in Stop and Shop $4.39.
