Motor Fuels
The availability of motor fuels is an essential component of the nation's economy, and the convenience store industry is America's primary source for fuel. In fact, convenience stores sell approximately 80 percent of the gasoline in the United States every year. In 2005, the industry sold 145.8 billion gallons of motor fuels, generating $334.2 billion in sales, representing 69 percent of total industry revenues.

As the leading retailer of motor fuels, the convenience store industry has a vested interest in legislation and regulations that affect the production, distribution and ultimate price and supply of motor fuels at the retail level of trade. In addition, convenience stores have a specific responsibility to securely store and dispense motor fuels, a responsibility that is constantly scrutinized by regulators at the federal and state level. NACS recognizes the unique role of the convenience store retailer within the motor fuel system and represents the industry's interests before Congress and the Administration.
