Hi! Anyone here who owns any fuel station? or who knows a lot about how fuel station works (the business side of it) how to set up a fuel station, how its business operations work day to day, how to startup a fuel station etc. I'll be needing all the information on how to startup a fuel station business...

Oh BTW I am not planning on putting up a fuel station business, I just need infos about it as Im going to be needing the information on other things. Thanks in advance!

Feedback i got from an owner before was that it has to be very hands-on by the owner as there is always a great deal of loss due to pilferage and lack of control on the overhead costs.

My friend owns the petron in SSH w/ starbucks, mcdo etc. they earn 50 cents per liter. you'll know the volume you get is not really a liter but 750ml.
in cases wer pumps are not calibrated regularly. the saying na "puro hangin lang" has truth to it.
most of the revenue comes from the convenience stores & restos they have.

Tama sa circa. a friend of mine who owns one tells me that they really earn so little from the fuel they sell and the bulk of their income is from the convenience stores and mechanic shop they have.

i doubt if it's just 50 cents per liter!

when you pay in card, these gas stations have to pay the bank about 7% of the transaction. 7% of 37.00 (1 liter) = 2.59

these stations should be earning that amount per liter at least everytime you pay in cash.

*the size of the gas station is classified through the number of gas pumps. ang pinakamalaki yata si called a "mega" station for 10 or more gas pumps

Of course my friend wont be telling me the real rebate they get from petron.
the fleet card manager at petron said there are other rebates they give to retailers. 50 cents is just the basic.
