KOLKER ROBERT MORIEN NEWPS ASK A DIFFERENT ROBERT KOLKER EARL KIOSTERUD therefore, he has no credibility- merely another net troll Two comments. 1. The poster you replied to is NEWPS. He's not a troll and is pretty well known here on the rec.aviation groups. He uses the fake return address of to avoid spam, as do many other people. Google assumes that everyone using that return address is the same person. You appear to have jumped to the wrong conclusion in this case. 2. The post that you replied to was posted on June 10th, 2003. The thread has been dead since Jun 12, 2003. Why are you ranting about a poster's credibility on a thread that is over 1 1/2 yrs. old? I see that you've posted this same goofy crap all over usenet. You seriously need to buy a clue. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) |

I imagine the fuel concession is marking it up considerably. I've also been concerned about the gas getting old as most FBOs don't seem to turn-over their cargas very fast. Of course it would cost more. The gas station down the street would go out of business pretty quick if they sold the amount of gas the FBO does. |

Actually most gas stations these days don't make their money selling gas, they make it selling cigarettes, lottery tickets, and twinkies. That's where the margin is- gas is often sold quite close to cost. Movie theaters aren't much different. A friend of a friend owns a theater, and he says that popcorn and soda is where his profits come from. Ticket sales just barely cover the costs of showing the movie. -cwk. |

I worked for a few years at an Esso station. The owner took the prize several years in a row for the most gas sold, yet he told me that he barely broke even on gas sales.

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. Allen |

They still have to pay the checkout people, and if you have to pay inside, they have to have more cashiers and registers.
