Sorry, the 100% of cost of goods sold is a very generous estimate of G&A,
Overhead, and profit.  These more commonly run around 20-25%, 110%, and
10%, respectively


Those numbers are for an aerospace company, not a gas station.  You need to
remember that Peter's comments are implicitly prefaced with, "When depot
usage becomes common enough that the economics become similar to a gas
