This is very interesting.
Erm, Q. When you say you sell off at 60 is it in terms of GAS? or OIL that you bought for 33?
If GAS, how did you sell at 60? I mean i sell at 28 and its already at border line of exp. (according to the gas station).
If OIL, why do ppl sell oil at such a high price and yet still got ppl buys them? Who buys them and for what?
This i really don't understand, please enlighten me on this matter. Thxs a lot.

Well, at the gas station you can just sell gas.... 
And he can sell at 60 in the same time when you sell at 26 because his shop is bigger. It is the same as with the production. A bigger well produces more oil - and in a bigger shop/station you can sell even more than in a normal one.
By the way: shops and stations are the only things with a linear increase....

what you trying to say is, if you have bigger land you can actually sell it at a higher price? what logic is that? 
if you say bigger well more oil production that i will agree. and bigger shop/station you can sell more i also agree, but at a HIGHER price.. thats a bit out isn't it?
I do notice in like shop/station you can put any price in there and there is bound to have ppl buying it from you, its just the matter of how long before its going to take to get the sales.
But the other Q is, i notice at market there are ppl selling oil like for 60-70 even >100 per unit, i mean who buys that? apparently there are ppl buying that, so my Q is why?

Let's say you sell 100 gas for 50 in a 20 qm shop and this takes 20 hrs to be sold (just an example)
If you then expand your filling station and have 30 qm, you are able to put more gas into the station (example 150 instead of 100). That means: with 30 qm you can sell 150 gas for 50 in 20 hrs. As you have more employees who can bring the gas to the customer.
And this also means, that you could increase the price instead of the number of units to be sold. So you could sell 100 gas for 55.
So, to me it makes sense to expand your shops also at the beginning.
(please note that my figures are just out of my imagination; I do not know the real ones!)
And with regards to oil: you can produce 5 gas with 1 oil. That means, at a price of 100, you would have a production price of 20 (just referred to the oil).
A lot of people go and sell their gas for 35-40 at the moment to have an according profit.
Hope, this helped,

Probably the way i put it sounds confusing or you trying to explain a lot more then i bargain for. First of all, thxs for the input.
The bigger the shop, more you can sell, and faster, or even higher production rate; that part i do get the logic in that. Not a problem.
The confusing part is this. Correct me if i am going off the tangent.
What i am getting is this:-
By increasing the land size DOEST NOT mean the selling price is supposed to be higher, but its just that for the SAME AMOUNT of time wasted in waiting for the total sales to come in (eventhu ppl whine its exp.) you can still sell it at a higher price, wait for the same amount of time (compare to a smaller size shop) and yet still get that higher and better profit.
Am i on the right track? or i am just going insane? hehehe sorry about this, but this is interesting

It make sense to sell at a higher price for the same amount of time spend waiting for the sales to go tru yes. Doesn't make sense that you can sell at a higher price just because you got more ppl 
(thinking too into reality here imagine a shop with more salesman can sell an iPOD for 2x the normal price just becoz they have 2x more salesppl hahaha)
but none the least, yes i got the point on the higher price thingy. Thxs

I think it makes sense in reality that if you have a bigger shop, you can sell at a higher price.
Bigger shops are known and easily spotted, attracting more customers, and the smaller shops, to be able to compete, with their small stores, do so with lower prices. It's just a market strategy to give discounts.
Still, its not to the extent of almost twice the price of the small ones, but, heck, this is just a game, right?

i thik the explanation is, that if you set a price (any price) there is a certain amount of the product that you can sell on 10 m2, the higher price, the less you sell
but also, the biger area, the more you sell, so you can compensate your high prices with big area of the shop
you can understand it like this: 1000 people a day come to a 10m2 shop, in every 1000 people, there is 10% of people, that want to buy it for 100, 20%, that want to buy it for 50 etc.
so when you sell it for 50 in a 10m2 shop, 300 people will buy it, but when you sell it in a 20 m2 shop (2000 people can come in this shop per day), you will sell the product to 600 people
then, when you sell the product for 100, only 100 people will buy it in 10 m2 shop, but in a 20 m3 shop, 200 people would buy it and in a 30 m2 shop, even 300 people would buy it
so Yes, when you set higher prices, you sell less in the same shop, but you can sell the same in a bigger shop
but also, the biger area, the more you sell, so you can compensate your high prices with big area of the shop
you can understand it like this: 1000 people a day come to a 10m2 shop, in every 1000 people, there is 10% of people, that want to buy it for 100, 20%, that want to buy it for 50 etc.

so Yes, when you set higher prices, you sell less in the same shop, but you can sell the same in a bigger shop
