Interesting how there was an article in the local paper about this today.
A Mobil Station owner is forced to charge $2.13/gallon for regular (nearly $0.25 above the state average)
Here is the breakdown of the cost per gallon.
$1.45 - Wholesale Price per gallon
$0.42 - State and Federal Taxes
$0.16 - Rent (location is owned by Mobil)
$0.10 - Operating Expenses and Profit.
The owner only gets $0.10/Gallon!!! And I'm sure a good part of that is for operating expenses.
He is being forced to close his station, and take his repair shop elsewhere.
