Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors
Petro Distributing, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Petro Distributing, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Petro Distributing, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 during the fourth fiscal quarter, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
