I just built a gas station and now I need to know what to do. I read the other topic about someone else needing help and someone suggested they build a gas station and then a factory to produce your own gas. My question is how do I start selling gas from my gas station? How much does it sell for?
Thanks

Oh dear.. ok, you bought a gassstation, I suggest you either expand it (if you have the cash) or else just leave it for now.
If you want to sell gas first you must produce gas by making or buying oil and then turn it into gas in a factory.
The sellingprice depends on: how many advertisements you have in your shop, (it will cut the sellingtime in half if you have 40000 advertisement points) how big your gasstation is and also the quality of your gas.
You will find this all out along the way, for now just
Buy a well, a mine and a powerplant and start producing stones to sell on the market.
as soon as you have cash to spare (which you won't in the very beginning) you buy more mines, wells etc.
Don't buy anymore shops for now, just keep producing water, oil, power and stones and keep selling until you have enough cash.
you can begin to expand your gasstation then.
But only after all your 60 buildingslots are full.
Also, read everything there is to read ingame, and also check out this forum.
You will then soon learn about the advertisemnt system and shops and other stuff.

The help button (The one with the large green question mark) is your friend when it comes to learning the game.
For your gas station you either need to buy gas on the market or make it.
To find the rough price gas is selling for in the location your station is in, got to stats and check the location... atm in germany for example gas is selling around 47,63

Stuff produced will go to your warehouse. You can sell to market from there.
If you want to sell to the end user (NPC folks in the country your store is in) then you have to put it into the store first. If you did the tutorial then you should already know how to do that as it walks you through it in the messages you get!

If you dont want to waste time selling stuff in stores and dont want to pay the 10% market fee on putting items on teh market then find another player who wants to buy the thing your selling and via forums or igm decide on the terms of the contract. Then send him the contract at the agreed price with the agreed amounts of goods at the agreed Quality 
this is how profit is hmmm how can i put it. This is how you can get the most profit from your products
Shops>Contract>market
They all have cons though
shops need to be big and have ads(which require to much money for you so mostly big players have those)
Contracts are good and cost v.little but you have to find the right person to buy at a good price for both of you and you have to rely on them having money from their transactions-whatever they may be, they also have to login and accept it!
The market is good as anyone can buy it so you have the largest potential pool of customers so you are more likely to sell your goods via the market than via contracts, possibly even faster. The problem though is that you have to pay the 10% market fee and your goods can be bought in small amounts, also there is more "open"/obvious competition. So it can involve a lot of messing around.
For now sell via market and whoever buys lots of your products off the market give them a mail and ask if they want to buy your daily production, tell them what it is and say they will get a small discount... Say you sell your products for 20each on the market, sell them to him for 19caps each(5% off). Usefully that earns you money as you dont have to pay the 10% market fee then, earning you an extra 5% and a permanent customer.

One question at a time:nathanronan wrote:My question is how do I start selling gas from my gas station? How much does it sell for?
1. How to load your stores.
2. Fill your Gas Station full of gas then keep changing the price until it will sell in 16 to 24 hours. (That is the ideal price for yourself and others.)
