Over the years, because everyone's economic conditions have become better, private cars also have many cheap brands, tens of thousands of cars can buy cars, so there are more and more vehicles on the road. Then for private car owners, the most concerned thing after buying a car is the price of oil. Many people in recent years have joked that they can afford to buy a car and can't afford to raise a car, saying that the rising oil price and the annual maintenance cost of the vehicle, although there has been news in recent days that the oil price may fall, but most of the old drivers know that the fall will not fall to where.

Then, since it comes to refueling, everyone knows that there are two kinds of gas stations in China, private and state-run, and most people will choose state-run gas stations. The reason for choosing state-run is to feel that the quality is guaranteed, private gas stations not only refuel and send water, paper, and even help you wash a car for free, so that many people doubt whether their oil is a problem, can they make money by doing so?
What about the oil at private gas stations?
Everyone will think so is actually very normal, after all, for a long time, everyone knows that the sky will not drop the pie, cheap is always no good thing, there are indeed some private gas stations because the audit is not very strict, there will be some situations, in order to make greater profits in the oil to do some hands and feet, the quality of these oils is not only not good, but also cause damage to the car. But this is only a small part, most of the private gas stations in order to do more long-term, attract customers, retain customers, or will not do this, after all, the most important thing to do business is word of mouth, once there is no word of mouth, naturally it is not far from closure.

Will private gas stations lose money?
Everyone is still very confused, is the private gas station oil cheap, but also send a lot of things and services, this will not lose money? In fact, you don't need to worry, after all, it is a businessman, who will make a loss-making transaction?
First of all, the location of private gas stations is generally relatively remote, and the rent will be cheaper, which can reduce the cost of private gas stations by a large part. Secondly, there are not many employees, the salary is relatively small, we can generally find that the service staff of the state-owned gas station is generally not so old, that is, young and middle-aged, but some of the private parts are from other places to work or local middle-aged and elderly people, are out of the part-time job, the wage requirements are not very high, the number of employees is also two or three people, so the cost of employment is also greatly reduced.

Finally, the most critical thing is that the crude oil purchase cost of private gas stations is relatively low, and their crude oil channels are cooperative with many oil production companies, directly from the oil field. Moreover, state-run gas stations have the premise of unified regulation and control by the state, and private gas stations are often priced by the boss himself, so it is normal for the price to be slightly lower.
Compete at a low price
Above we have analyzed why the price of private gas stations is lower. You know, state-run gas stations do not lack customers at all, PetroChina, Sinopec gas stations all over the country, it is difficult to have no business, but private gas stations are not as good as state-owned gas stations in terms of store quantity, word of mouth and quality, naturally only low prices This breakthrough can compete with state-owned gas stations.

Although the price of oil at private gas stations will also fluctuate, it will be a few cents cheaper than the state-owned ones in the same period, and the addition of various things will also make consumers feel like they are picking up a bargain. In addition, many private gas stations will provide refueling free car wash service, then the owner usually adds 200 yuan of oil, but also can wash a car, rounding is to save 20 yuan of car wash money, why not enjoy it?
