Harry,
We had a Chevron station here in Cottonwood which is a small town about 20 miles South of here and doesn't sell much gas. The owner there had just filled his tanks a day or so before a big .56¢ increase so he was selling it at the price he got it for until he ran out. The company sent a supervisor out to tell him that if he didn't raise the price to the new level, they would not supply him with gas any more and would see to it that no one else would. He asked them why he had to raise it as he never gave the new price for it and they told him it was none of his business, just do what we tell you. Since he is the only station in town, he had no choice as the people there depend on him.
