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

Only if they own the local gas station; otherwise that would be illegal. They can only determine the price the station can buy it at - the wholesale price. The owner of the station determines the retail price, subject to the obvious competition and supply/demand concerns.
