another reason for allocations is the service station manager makes his money on snack shop business. If he or she sold out all their gas in day or two then the incentive for drivers to come into the snack shop goes away.

if they limit sales , cut amount of fill up, or spread out operations over days , then the opportunity to continue selling cigs, coffee, or impulse items in the snack shop are more apt to continue their income.

gasoline sales normally support the overhead of heat electricity, maintenance items.
