There is no way to justify the increase because none had shipments today. The gas on the next delivery may cost more but today’s increase is simple price gouging.

False. The station owner uses the income from selling the last delivery (deliveries) to pay for the next delivery (deliveries).

If the station is going to pay $5/gal for the next delivery (deliveries), charging $4/gal today makes no sense.
