What about the killing they made when gas prices jump 30 to 40 cent a gallon with the cheaper gas in the ground. Shouldn't that make up for it?

You should take Econ 101 course.....

if the station owner pays $1.00 and charges $1.10 and tomorrow the futures-quote says the next tank will cost him $1.25, he will immediately raise his price to $1.35 so he can pay the $1.25 the new gas costs(he is paying for the NEXT tank remember) and still keep his $0.10 profit... but if he charges more, say $1.45, then i'd say he's gouging.

i'm pinging speed addiction on this for you, maybe he can explain it better since he owns one...

speed see my post #55 too.
