Fuel Central brings institutional-grade analytics to gas station investing. Our Automated Valuation Model uses regression analysis based on real transaction data, while our TAM projection system goes further—projecting dynamic margins and fuel volumes based on local market conditions, not simply static averages. Purpose-built for retail fuel, we deliver forward-looking projections that account for competitive positioning, traffic patterns, and the factors that drive gas station profitability
My partner and I have spent over 30 years combined valuing gas stations professionally. We were tired of rebuilding the same spreadsheet models every time—estimating fuel volume from capture rates, projecting margins, pulling comps and adjusting for dozens of variables. It worked, but is slow and lives entirely in our heads.
Fuel Central is us digitizing that experience. We teamed up with folks a lot smarter than us for databasing, finance/econometrics/game theory models and spatial data handling. Sprinkle in the advent of affordable AI tools - baby, you got a gas station valuation stew goin'. The AVM came first, trained on real transaction data and decades of 'special sauce' nuance turned into biblical reference guides. Then the TAM system, which projects what a station could do based on its market, not just what similar stations sold for or repeating old operational comparables. We wanted forward-looking analysis, not just backward-looking comps. This was a bear but we're really proud of it, multiple agents, GIS systems, the whole works.
We built this for everyone; enterprise operators, mom & pops, lenders, insurers, etc. Like a Zillow Zestimate married a Carfax for your gas station. Happy to answer questions about the methodology or the data behind it. The current product is for fee simple interest (land, property & business) with allocation breakout. We're shipping the leased fee interest (fair market rent) module in Q2 2026.
