I don’t understand how being Indian gives the OP any special insight on the business model of gas stations just because they’re also run by Indians.

As far as I’m aware neither is gas station business model knowledge hereditary nor is it taught in Indian school textbooks or part of Indian cultural learning.

Considering that he didn't mention that his father owned a gas station, I'd going to say that what he got from his father is hearsay at best. It's not any more any reputable than "my indian friend told me that his cousin said...".
