That's where the margin is- gas is often sold quite close to cost.

That's a story I keep hearing but if it were true why have 99.9% of gas
stations gone to the pay-at-the-pump? Seems to me if you have to go inside
to pay for your gas you are much more likely to pick up a snack or soda
while you are in there.

Labor cost for gas goes to zero, lots of people still go in to grab
something while the tank fills.
