The retailers do not make much profit from selling fuel. It is not an easy business to be in.

If you think otherwise set-up your own and make your millions!!!

The major costs go to the government. A tax of 57.95p of fuel duty in every litre of diesel and petrol to be precise.

Plus VAT at 20% of the wholesale price on top of that which at £1.99 a litre for diesel at some of the highest forecourts around the country would be 39p.

So that's around 97p just going to the government so close to 50% being taken away from the retailers profits right there.

If it was £1.04 per litre it would be around 72% going to the government.

Try giving 72% of your earnings to the government before you have to pay your own costs.

The garage retailers have to pay staff wages and the rent on the property including council rates etc.

It's why all of them now sell food and snacks and other items to help them be a profitable business.

I wouldn't be surprised if the bulk of their profits come from sales of food and snacks etc.

Lastly, you also have costs to the refiners and expenses for distribution to the forecourts from the wholesalers etc.

If you want cheaper fuel then put pressure on politicians.

Because they squeeze the average man and woman in this country for every spare penny he and she has.

When we lived in Snowdonia a local garage was bought by a guy who wanted the land behind the forecourt for his scrap/salvage business

it had a small kiosk a 4 pumps, he paid £80,000 for the lot

2 months after he moved in an oil company rep visited and offered to put new pumps in and supply him with fuels, a 3 year deal and pay him £75,000
