Here’s the best strategy to make Buckeroos from start to finish in Roadside Research.

The Best Way to Make Buckeroos in Roadside Research

The best way to make money, or Buckeroos, is to focus on two key things: fuel and market price. At the start of your playthrough, you can get away in increasing your market price by 20-30% for each product. Assuming you keep your customers’ satisfaction as high as possible, they’ll buy all your products anyway.

Eventually, you’ll start increasing your profits every day, but the biggest money-maker is always the fuel. Since a customer can ask for around $90+ of fuel, you know it makes a lot of money for such little work.

Your gas station starts with only one pump, so your main goal is to complete the fuel expansion upgrades and eventually reach four pump stations. Get the Fuel Barrel upgrade, buy some fuel racks, and place them near the pump stations. This way, you don’t have to go back and forth between the delivery van and your location, and you don’t have to order as often.

Once you have all pump stations running, you’ll be rich in no time. Focusing on adding more products to the shelves also works because customers are more likely to buy when there’s a greater variety. Eventually, you’ll start earning the big bucks, and there’s nothing left to spend your money on apart from decorating or doing other cool stuff.
