    Not sure about Europe but in the US most of these gas stations don’t make any money actually selling gas, it’s the convenience store that actually makes them money. Selling snacks, cigarettes, scratch-offs, etc.

      Its the same In the EU gas stations don’t really make money selling fuel. They are actually expensive convenience stores that happen to sell fuel. I suspect that is the same all over the world. The guys making bank with fuel are the companies that actually produce it. Maybe states with taxes on fuel. Not the guys delivering it or the guys actually selling it.
