BIL owns and runs a fuel delivery business. He averages making about 12-15 cent per gallon. I say average because he gains when fuel is going up, His stored, paid for fuel, is worth more when he delivers it. The kick in the pants is when prices go down. He loses money because his fuel in now worth less. So it averages out at about 12-15 cents per gallon. He hopes to about break even in the highs and lows.
Also your 500-600 gallons per week is chump change compared to most bigger fuel users. In the summer when we are hauling feed and corn hard we will burn 3000-4000 gallons of diesel each week. That is just with 5 trucks. Neighboring guy has 15 trucks hauling feed everyday. He says he is using 1500 gallon each day.
