The negotiated rate must be a big piece of it, since my recollection is that the rental companies in the US are charging over $8/gallon to refuel your car.
Interesting, Hertz has a program at a couple of locations where you can bring it back partially full, and they'll refuel it at the market rate, and charge you a $7 flat fee. Silvercar does something similar, bring it back part full, and they'll fill it up, charge you market rate for gas, and a $5 fee.
