Reading the Auto Dealers & Gas Stations CEO Pay Landscape (SIC 55, FY2023)
The Auto Dealers & Gas Stations industry, classified under 2-digit SIC code 55, had 16 SEC-reporting public companies disclose CEO pay ratio data in fiscal year 2023. Across that set of firms, the median CEO-to-worker pay ratio was 131:1 and the average was 201:1. Median CEO total compensation in the sector was $7.5M, with the sector-wide average at $6.9M. These figures are aggregated from DEF 14A proxy statements filed under Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires every U.S.-listed reporting company to compare its CEO's total compensation against a representative median employee.
Pay dispersion inside this industry is substantial. The 25th percentile CEO in Auto Dealers & Gas Stations earned $3.6M, while the 75th percentile CEO earned $10.6M — a spread that shows how firm size, equity-heavy compensation packages, and performance-linked incentives can drive very different outcomes even among peers sharing the same SIC code. The gap between the 201:1 average and the 131:1 median is wide, which almost always signals that a small number of very-high-pay CEOs are pulling the mean upward; the median is the fairer yardstick for "a typical company in this sector."
