Perhaps you should speak to someone who owns/operates a "gas station" and tell them they control the price at the pump. I'd like to be there when they respond to that statement.

Depends on the gas station. The owner of the gas station does indeed determine the price of a gallon of gas, whether it's a local or corporate owner.

The price at the pump is determined before the fuel reaches the pump. I’ve talked to enough owner/operators to know that. They do not set the price pump.

Actually I think it’s the oil company that dictates the price that the store sells the fuel at the pump.
