The only exception is during a declared emergency where the percentages they can raise the prices are restricted.As a friend of mine once explained it to me, what he paid for an item doesn’t matter as much as what it’ll cost him to replace it once it’s sold. If the gas in your station’s tank cost you $3.25/gal, but the distributor tells you it’s going to cost you $3.95/gal to replace it, you have to take that into consideration. Maybe you can afford to wait until the next delivery, but most stations are operating on pretty slim margins, so they have to raise the price in anticipation of that next fuel delivery bill.</blockquote>
