Gas Station

We Put the Cool in Fuel™

What does it mean when you brand your gas station as a VP gas station? We’re not an oil company—we’re a consumer lifestyle brand. As a result, consumers develop an emotional connection with our brand, unlike a traditional gasoline brand. For our branded VP gas station operators, this translates to greater customer loyalty and higher purchases of premium fuel, VP branded automotive additives, VP apparel, and optional race fuels.

Furthermore, part of our lifestyle appeal is our connection to motorsports. We are an official fuel or lubricant provider to over 60 race series worldwide, including sports cars, drag racing, motorcycles, dirt racing, powerboats, and more—all broadcast on major TV networks and engaging consumers via social media. Consequently, these same fans and enthusiasts seek VP gas stations to power their own premium automobiles, motorcycles, RVs, UTVs, boats, and other recreational toys. For that reason, operators see increased fuel sales and a higher mix of premium fuels.

Convenience store revenues also see a boost because customers willingly buy VP-branded t-shirts, decals, sportsman jugs, and other high-margin VP-branded merchandise products.

For example, when was the last time a customer wanted to buy a t-shirt or decal carrying the brand of one of the big oil brands?

Our Program

VP Racing Fuels offers the most comprehensive and differentiated branded fuel program in the industry. We design a program that delivers more benefits for operators of VP gas stations than traditional programs offered by the big oil companies. For example:

  1. You can buy unbranded fuel and take advantage of the difference between branded and unbranded pricing. Over time, this benefit out-weighs up-front payments that handcuff you to a higher price for 7-10 years.
  2. Low-cost credit card program that’s up to 50 basis points lower than the industry average. Therefore, our owners/operators put thousands of dollars back in their pockets per year.
  3. Two ways to increase overall revenues: (1) attract more premium fuel automobiles and recreational vehicles, and (2) provide high-demand additives and merchandise for convenience store sales.
  4. Motorsport-related marketing opportunities like driver & car appearances, ticket giveaways, and social media promotions to support grand openings and special events to drive more traffic.

More control, lower operating costs, higher revenue, and marketing support–- it all adds up to the best program in the industry from a brand with nearly 50 years of experience and a long-term commitment to racing and retail fuel sales.

Major Growth & Profit Rebranding as VP Racing Fuels

After 20 years of operating gas stations and convenience stores in Southern California, Eddie Awada knew that growth with the major brands was limiting his gallon growth and limiting his margins.

Since rebranding to VP Racing, the first VP gas station location surpassed Awada’s goals, with increased traffic and growth in gasoline sales from70,000 gallons per month to 220,000 gallons per month! C-store sales have also seen a boost, with in-store sales up 100% across Awada’s locations.

VP Dealer Testimonials

Every new VP-Branded Station has seen substantial, sustained increases in profit, as reflected in the following comments from VP dealers and distributors

  • I saw an opportunity to be the first to introduce the sharp looking new VP image in the Chicago market and I’m very happy I made the move. With the freedom to purchase unbranded supply under VP’s program, I can be more competitive with my pricing. My gasoline volume has more than doubled since the reimaging was completed and with my lower cost of supply and VPs low credit card rates, I’m making more profit on every gallon I sell. As a bonus, inside sales have increased 35%. In my view, VPs branding program helps me compete more effectively and gives me more control over my business.

    Muhannad Awadallah Owner, Winner's Circle
  • The VP Racing Fuels brand is working extremely well for me. Since we converted to VP, my expenses are lower, gallons have increased by 20+% and my annual profit has tripled!

    Jay Costas Owner, Costas Fuels
  • VP brings an attractive new image and a reputation that appeals to race fans and performance enthusiasts who are familiar with the exceptional quality of VP performance products. I’ve been in this industry for many years and have to say VP’s program is one of the most exciting models I’ve come across. With the benefits of VP’s program and the manner in which it puts control of the business back in the hands of the station owner, it’s a real game-changer.

    Dean Dorminey President D&D Energy Group
  • “The VP Racing Fuels brand program has been a great decision for my location. We have seen significant traffic and profit driven through race fuel, Madditives, apparel and sportsmen containers. As a result, the consumer fuel and store revenues are better than I expected. Quite honestly, the brand recognition and excitement surrounding VP Racing Fuels is fantastic!”

    Matthew Seymour Owner, Q Squares
