gas is the end product and can be sold in the Gas station to NPC customers

you can buy gas on the market and sell it in your gasstations instead of producing it on your own

watch the market, prices change as the demand/suply changes

[Guest]

in the STATS section, take a look at the different areas average price for gas. and take a look at the areas average quality. if you have better quality than the average, more NPCs in the area will want to buy yours, so u can price it higher.

Ok, I have built Well and Factory, and calculated the total price of 1 Gas:
1 Oil = $9 + 100 Power
1 Gas = $0.15 + 0.2 Oil + 5 Power

1 Gas = $0.15 + 0.2 * ($9 + 100P) + 5P = $1.95 + 25P

I can buy Power for $0.07, and produce 1 Gas for $3.7 and sell it for $15 on the market. It's 4 times higher!!! Is any trick here? Was my calculation correct?

I assume you are buying power for 0.05 hence the .25 for power?

There for your calculation would be

0.15 + (0.2*(9+5))+.25 = 3.2 I think?!!!

The amount you can get for the gas is dependant on the market. You'll find that different products have different mark ups, some you can get double your production costs, others you can get much more.

If you were to purchase your own power station then obviously your production costs for power would fall and alter your costs for gas slightly. Currently my overall production costs for gas stand at 2.55, I sell on the market for anywhere between 11 and 15, but generally sell in my stores from 20 upwards - depending on when I anticipate logging on again, for example if I sell 1000 at 20 and the production time states say 10 hrs, if I think it will be say 13 hours before I log on again I will alter the sales price so that the production time is roughly the same, increasing my profit slightly.

Note: when I was talking about the gas stations I meant sales time rather than production time, I'm sure you knew what I meant.
