I have no doubt that these places make money selling crap other than gasoline. Some may even make gobs o' dough doing so.

The only bone of contention I have is claims they don't get a cut of fuel sales, however small it may very well be. I don't even begrudge them for doing so.
Well your bone of contention is evolving, before it was about colluding oil companies. Nobody has said they don't get a cut, in fact I think I have said 3 times that it is usually between 2 and 3 cents. But that 2 or 3 cents simply covers costs.
