DoctorV Champion Author Detroit Posts:1,012 Points:200,895 Joined:Aug 2008	Message Posted: Mar 6, 2013 7:32:26 AM Ignore DoctorV Report Abuse "A typical Getty station pumps 1,500 gallons of gas per day, according to the station owners -- and that figure yields just $97.50 per day in commissions. It's nowhere near enough to offset the average of $189.57 per day for all fees and labor costs, leaving stations with a daily average revenue loss of about $92.07."

sillywagon Champion Author New York Posts:14,874 Points:1,440,145 Joined:Oct 2008	Message Posted: Mar 5, 2013 9:38:35 PM Ignore sillywagon Report Abuse There are two former Getty stations on state route 22 in Scarsdale/Eastchester in Westchester County. thesee two stations are now independent. How were they able to avoid Lukoil? It is disgusting how these Getty retailers are being treated by Lukoil. I would shutdown if I was losing money and the parent company was profiting. it's like it's a monopoly.
