I've never owned/managed a gas station - but I'm thinking that just selling gas carries some serious overhead. Santa Claus did not bring, nor install, the large underground storage tanks, pumps, & related infrastructure. The local property tax authorities probably know how much that's all worth. Then there's the maintenance, inspection fees, insurance, etc. on it...

That's CapEx. Plus, somebody built the store, too. How about labor? When was the last time you saw an employee OUTSIDE at a gas station, not inside the convenience store?
I never said the gas station part has no costs, just that the store likely has more, and when a article from "The Hustle" attributes ALL OpEx to the gas, it's the readers being hustled.
