I used to gripe about that to bare4you. The minute there was a whisper of gas prices rising, the stations would change the price! I asked a station manager about that because I knew that they didn't pay that much for the gas that they already had. What was explained to me was that the amount charged now isn't for what they had already paid for which was already underground, but for what they will have to pay for the next load. Most of it is a guessing game for them now.
