My father ran a service station once upon a time. Markup at the time as nominally 1-2% (basically a cent or two per litre), and quickly eroded to zero or negative if the station across the street got a load at a cheaper price...there was a bit of a gentleman's agreement not to price war, but that's how it went. His was one of the only places in town buses could easily access, so drinks and food helped, but most money was made through getting a good mechanic in the workshop.

Roughly $7 per gallon in Finland, on a "cheap" day. I drive mostly using biogas which is 50% cheaper. But I need to pay owner's tax 100% higher than for a normal petrol car, about $250 more every year.

In Romania, 1 liter of gas is about 7 Lei (Lions) or about 1.4 U.S.D. Since 1 U.S. Gallon = 3.78 Liters, the price will be around 5.92 U.S.D. Still cheaper then in Filnad I see.
But it's annoying to see how in crowded Bucharest people do use a car a lot and they complain about gas and electricity prices. Use less the car, use more the electricity.
There where days when gas (not much Diesel back then - probably just a few "Mercedes" cars, the rest, only big vehicles) was cheap. But ther wheren't many cars back then and Romania still had a lot of oil.

The desire for comfort will lead to chaos at some point.

When I saw Copanel (Copănel)...that's a pice from chicken, I wonder if it's Romanian. So I'm not the only Romanian from here.
