  • Susser Holdings reports quarterly results: retail fuel volumes up, retail fuel margins down

    In their quarterly results released today, Susser Holdings announced their retail fuel volumes were up year over year, while retail fuel margins were lower.

    Average fuel volumes sold per store per month increased 6.6% to approximately 132,000 gallons per store. But retail fuel gross margins declined from $0.277 per gallon from the same period last year to $0.201 per gallon this quarter.

    From a fuel price management perspective, these financial results hit home the point that it’s nearly impossible to make gains in both retail fuel volumes and retail fuel margins. Pull the lever to increase volumes, and fuel margins will have to be sacrificed. Change strategies to improve fuel margins, and fuel volumes will suffer.

    Only with a fuel price management optimization solution like PriceAdvantage can the fuel manager keep a close watch on both levers to achieve corporate goals.
