^ They're all wrong
Its called Economies Of Scale.
The more a company orders, the more discount they get.
A small store buys a little at a time and so pays full price, however, superstores buy in massive bulk orders and so get discounts.
Plus, a dealer will give discounts to companies that order more simply because they rely on them to keep up their massive orders in order to survive.
petrol will maybe make a very small difference, but not a noticable one

because they all have to make a profit somehow to get the money back that they spend on refurbishment's and they have to pay their staff's wages.
