Yea I see that. Looks like gouging to me.
Parallel universe time: Wouldn't it be great if everyone stopped buying gas for one week? I wonder what the gas companies would do?

Crude oil supply isn't the only issue controlling gasoline prices.
Refinery capacity has a HUGH and VEY SERIES impact on price. And we have added ZERO refinery capacity in this country since 1968. Nobody wants a smelly, icky, ugly refinery anywhere near them...but they sure as **** want cheap gasoline.

they would complain that they didn't have enough storage capacity for the stuff, and somehow the price would rise so they could afford to buy more tanks.
