That's why more and more oil companies are getting into the convenience business as well, killing off franchises keeping them in-house.
I think people are mad at the Oil Companies would realize the REAL problem is an overreaching Fed and State Govt. For example, does YOUR state have this law? In Minnesota the REQUIRED price per gallon MUST be at least $.08 OVER wholesale. The argument is that "We must protect the little guy from being squeezed out by the big chains". The result is a complete negation of free market forces on the price of gas.
