I don't know how it works in the US, but in Vancouver the stations are franchises and they sell the gas for the price that head office says to sell it for, and then make a flat amount per litre sold regardless of the sign pricing.

So really, $.10 a litre of $1.00 a litre, the stations make the same amount.

We do have independant's too, but not many.
