Okay now on to the show… First take a look at the attached daily fuel price notification that we all receive from our jobber/suppliers. This is the price we pay to buy our fuel. Remember it will vary city to city, state to state and country to country. What I pay for a gallon of regular in Alabama may not be the same as someone buying the same brand fuel in NY City. But a couple of things to consider here, if you look at this fuel prices you will notice there is a difference in price between the regular, Mid-grade and premium right? Well, typically, your mid-grade price should be around 15 cents higher than your regular price, the same way your premium price should be around 50 cents higher than your regular price. So, you need to price your fuel accordingly. Let me show you how. Price Regular Mid-Grade Premium Cost $1.89 $2.04 $2.39 Retail $1.99 $2.39 $2.89 Profit: $.10 $.35 $.50 (Listen to the show for details on how we price our fuel) Now let's look at the Excel image of the fuel margin calculation, it will be easier for you to understand this episode if you can see the excel sheet.
