The price of gas is set by buying the raw crude (Oil), then paying to refine it, transport it, etc. The price set by the stations so they can make a profit. Ach! there is that evil word, profit. How dare they profit in the sale of gasoline!!!!1
-The price set by the stations—
The WHOLESALE price is set by the oil companies. The unfortunate station owners have to set their retail price to make any kind of profit. I’m not blaming *them*.
