First of all, you are misinformed about gas stations. You know how much gas stations make off a gallon? Well we make about ten cents a gallon, and we sell between 300-500 a day. Not even enough to pay my salary.So what you're telling me a gas station profits ONLY $50 a day on selling gas?
What town do these figures of 300-500 gallons come from? I have a real hard time believing that.

I'm w/ you there blake, any of the bigger stations (say Flying J, Fleetfarm, Tesoro Truck stop, etc...) have a line of people waiting to buy gas at times. 300-500 gallons per hour or more might be more realistic for those guys and I'm thinking if you're not pushing 50+ vehicles per day through at the small stations you're gonna be in trouble...

How many gallons of gas does one semi hold?

On the plus side, it's easier to convince the wife that I should just run race fuel all the time, since the price diff isn't very much
