The combination of taxes, business model distribution and regulation seem to shape the incentives of gas stations to always push the edge on these kinds of products. I wonder if the market functioned better when people in California had oil wells in their back yard and gas stations could focus on getting a cheaper product through local sourcing
- tptacek 3y agoThe margins on gas stations are extremely bad, or at least they are in Chicago, so I can imagine there's a lot of pressure to find "value-added" products they can push over the counter to exploit their commercial real estate footprint.
