Germany gas station pricing

Post by Guest » 11.08.2009, 05:09

Under the assumption that Q29 gas is worth 52 (Q+23), you can sell a full shelf in between 24 and 48 hours, as follows:

Price --------- Selling time --------- Profit per 1000m

68.65 ----------- 24 -------------------- 833k
79 -------------- 37.13 ----------------- 873k
85.83----------- 48 -------------------- 846k

Thus, you can manage your supply with great flexibility, without much effect on profitability.

Cost to construct 1k sqm gas station 17mil

Price --------- Selling time --------- Profit per 1000m--ROI

68.65 ----------- 24 -------------------- 833k----------4.90%
79 -------------- 37.13 ----------------- 873k---------5.13%
85.83----------- 48 -------------------- 846k----------4.98%

Time spent--------Gas station size considering it expands by factor of its ROI

1 month--------------4.2x---4.49x---4.30x
2 months-----------17.64x--20.12--18.47
1 year------38287163x--85159383x--50570526x

Of course this didnt take into account the expansion time but it should give you the basic idea about exponential growth and how seemingly small differences become huge differences over the time ;)

Price will drop a lot more if more people start selling a full gas station in 24 hours.

Maybe cuz selling a full store every 32 hours doesn't raise the price either??


Start selling every 4 days, that will make price go up.

There's nothing wrong with a small/medium sized player selling a full gas station in 24 hours provided they are selling at or above their optimum selling price and they don't have a problem with supply.

Admittedly if they are selling below the average price then they will drive prices down, but how much ?
A thousand metre station will sell 50,000 units, Thats small change compared to the tens of millions of units that are sold daily.

When you have maxed stations or stations of a size that are difficult to fill because of lack of supply, then that's a different story.

Different strategies apply at different levels.

Is there a special reason for quoting my message or did you just select a random one?
