Why is the fuel at private gas stations sold cheaper?

[LeJosephine]

The reasons why private gas stations sell fuel cheaper: 1. Lower costs: Private gas stations are generally located in remote areas, with smaller land areas and fewer staff, resulting in lower operating costs. 2. Fewer customers: To attract customers, they increase discounts. 3. Different fuel sources: Regular gas stations have better quality fuel, naturally at higher prices; whereas private gas stations, to ensure profits, naturally look for ways to source fuel, such as from regional refineries, which naturally makes the fuel cheaper. However, long-term use of low-quality fuel can lead to rapid carbon buildup in the car, with increased fuel consumption and sluggish acceleration being the most common symptoms. 4. Small profits but quick turnover: Like selling other products, they adopt a strategy of small profits but quick turnover to maximize profits, a common method in economics; with lower prices, many car owners choose private gas stations to save a significant amount of money on a tank of fuel.
