"The goal for fiscal 2016 is to increase same-store gallons sold 2% with an average margin of 16.7 cents per gallon. For the first quarter, same-store gallons sold were up 3.4% with an average margin of 17.5 cents per gallon. "Same-store sales continue to benefit from low retail fuel prices," said Myers.
