Convenience store fuel gallons sold measures the physical volume of retail motor fuel sold by Casey's during the period.

Casey's sold 3.515 billion gallons of retail fuel in fiscal 2026, up from 3.197 billion gallons in fiscal 2025.

Total gallons increased by about 318 million

The increase was approximately 318.3 million gallons, or about 10.0%.

Total gallon growth reflects both mature-store throughput and changes in the store footprint.

Fuel contribution reconciles from gallons and cents per gallon

Casey's reported 42.57 cents of revenue less cost of goods sold per gallon.

Multiplying 3.515 billion gallons by $0.4257 gives about $1.496 billion, essentially matching the reported $1.497 billion of fuel revenue less cost of goods sold.

Gallons isolate volume from fuel-price swings

Retail fuel revenue was $10.615 billion at an average retail price of about $3.02 per gallon.

Use Convenience Store Fuel Margin per Gallon to analyze unit contribution separately from volume.

Where this concept fits

Fuel throughput and per-gallon economicsCurrent relationship
Retail fuel economics depend on physical gallons and contribution per gallon. Average gallons per mature store and same-store gallon growth help separate unit productivity from footprint expansion.

Inside sales mix and category contribution
Inside sales combine grocery and general merchandise with prepared food and dispensed beverages. Category sales and category contribution margins determine how mix shifts change the economics of the inside-store basket.

Mature-store demand, unit productivity, and footprint
Same-store category growth shows demand within the mature base, while average sales and operating income show unit productivity and store count captures expansion of the network itself.
