Who dictates the price of gas @ the local level? Exxon Mobil? or the Gas station Owner? Basically, does exxon say you must sell it for at least X.XX amount. Anything over is the gso's?
I know many factors go into determining the cost of a gallon. I guess my main question would be, is the Gas station owner one of the factors?
Example, (i chose random prices btw) You have Exxon on one corner who charges 3.30 per gallon & Getty on the opposite corner (same side of the street) (location is a factor, which i want to keep as constant as possible) charging 3.29. Can the Exxon Mobil owner, lower his price to 3.28 w/o consulting Exxon?
I know the oil market is tricky, i just want to know if the Gas station owner has even the SMALLEST say in the cost per gallon.
