In Florida there is a minimum profit per gallon. They are likely buying more of it so it is cheaper. The smaller stations pay a higher rate because they have smaller tanks and don't pump as much. Gas does go stale and the stations have to size their tanks accordingly. Costco in Tallahassee for example gets multiple truck loads a day and likely takes the whole approx 9000 gallons the truck holds at a time which makes delivery cheaper (i.e. it's a single truck ride with a single stop vs multiple).Do places like Racetrack and SAMs, where gas is a few penny's cheaper, sell lower grade gas, or are they making less on their margin?

contrary to popular belief all the gas from every station comes from the same source. Additives are the difference between stations.
There is a Petro in my home down that stays a nickel lower than most everyone in town. They aren't the opposite of Costco for sure. Their gas definitely looks of lower grade when you judge by observing their pumps and station in general.
