That's a damned lie.
I just checked with some locals here in northern California, where
petrol is higher than most other locations, and the average is 50
cents per gallon blue sky (profit). Therefore the margin is more on
the order of 70 or 80 cents per gallon. There are some honest
dealers here who admit to making at least 40 cents on the gallon.
Then there are the liars.
