I'm talking about services like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Scl6x-JwzHc
Where a tanker truck comes to a high-density area like an office or apartment parking lot and fills cars while customers are working, resting, shopping, etc.
Delivery from the fuel terminal to the station is already priced into retail gasoline. If you're in a big city and able to fill the tanker at bulk rates directly at the fuel terminal and deliver fuel directly to the cars, the transport costs aren't going to be that much higher than the conventional model. And with no physical station, you're removing the cost of rent and/or opportunity cost of owning the land (which can be huge in a big city).
And as we've seen with services like postmates and ubereats, people really are lazy enough to pay substantially more in order to save a few minutes.
I've been researching providers, but I've found nothing that is publicly traded and/or open to private investors. Anyone have any ideas on how to (passively) invest in this business model?
