some little town in california shown on CNN this morning has a little full service gas station that is charging this much.

this is what i figured:

my premium price = $3.45/gal

full service price difference = $1.75

now the average time it takes me to fill my tank roughly from empty to full is around 2 minutes. so figuring 5.5 gallons/minute with a $1.75 full service surcharge comes up to the gas station making $9.625/min.

$9.625 x 60min = $577.50/hr!?!?!?!?!?!?

makes you wonder just what all they do on your car for that amount of money.

 

Crazy, but its not like the gas attendee sees any more than minimum wage from all that money.

 

agreed, most full service places i used to go to or have drove by is usually only a quarter more a gallong and i know what they provide which for what they do a quarter isn't all that bad.

 

Highway robbery! (no pun intended)


I'm more shocked that full service stations still exist. I haven't seen one in ages.

Ya they COULD make that much an hour. But the only one here I even know about never has anyone getting gas there.

 

Here in Winnipeg,Manitoba,Canada I'm paying $1.10 a liter=about $5.00 a gallon all the time.But,we have Domo Gas which is a full service gas station that (with their coupon) sells their gas at 7 cents a litre less than Shell,Esso,Tempo,Mohawk,or Co-op(most of these are self serve,besides Tempo and Mohawk).Co-op actually has a member discount that you pay full price all year and then they send a big fat check to all of their members once a year.Based on how much gas you buy at the Co-op,determines how big the check.I've seen up to like $600 on some peoples discount.Larrs

 

The biggest problem is that people are dumb enough to pay it, otherwise they wouldnt set the price that high.
