If you are referring to the figures on what gas stations mark-up it comes from personal experience. I looked at buying 2 different gas stations last year and my partner did business with some of the trucking companies hauling fuel. He also works with several station owners. I will try to get the exact figures out of him tomorrow but I specifically remember him saying his biggest transport customer were getting out of hauling everything but gas because so much money was in it.

Not sure if this holds true all the time but one transport company he spoke with buys the gas from the refinery and sells it themselves to the stations. The truck driver alone kept a larger cut that I would have ever figured. Shreveport, Louisiana here by the way.
