You pulled into that station obviously of your own free will. When you looked at the pump, you saw the price per gallon. You had the opportunity to drive to another station - unless you were out of gasoline. That Chevron station may be charging higher prices for a variety of reasons but you have to remember one main point. All gas stations buy their gasoline from oil companies. Gas stations are making big profits but it is the oil companies that are making huge profits. BP, Royal Dutch, Exxon, and others were making profits of over 50% higher than last year and it amounted to over $500 billion dollars in some cases. Do not worry about the individual gas station ripping you off. You can always find another station for a few cents less per gallon. It is Big Oil that is destroying the economy of the USA.
