Gas stations and airline fuel charges have always been first to rise, last to fall. It is confusing when you see oil drop like it has then see the price across the street go up 5 cents tomorrow. Could it be fixed, yes, do they have much incentive to do it...no.
- r-n 11y agoAs far as gas stations go - they make most of their money by lagging behind the fall in oil prices. They make an extremely small profit most of the time and a larger profit when oil prices fall. Gas stations usually operate with the gas almost as a loss leader for the attached convenience store.
