Some convenience markets will actually sell gasoline at cost - or even 
as a loss leader - in order to get customers in the door.  Some of them 
even conveniently forget to reload the receipt paper in the pumps, so 
that you have to go inside to get your receipt.  They make their money 
on the "convenience" items: overpriced milk, soda, candy, et al.
