That makes their argument nothing but total bullshit.

No, actually it doesn't. It's not the individual gas stations that decide the price. We could buy 10k gallons of gas at $2.00 per gallon, and theprice of oil jump up in the afternoon and big oil makes a phone call to the gas station HQ's and says, you have to raise your prices to $2.25, no questions asked. That is where the oil companies fuck our pretty little assholes.
Oh that, and jacking our prices by 30 cents every weekend, blaming it on demand.
