Except in Oregon & New Jersey, where self-service is illegal, gasoline retailers don't really have any wage costs to speak of. Even the stations that have convenience stores attaches (or convenience stores with gas stations attached) frequently run with one employee per shift. Distribution costs for the wholesaler might be more significant.
