He raised his prices to be able to pay for the next delivery as oil prices, and therefore bulk gasoline prices were rising. His prices should also drop between deliveries if oil price is going down.

I know its hard to believe but our average margin (profit) per gallon of gasoline is 3 cents! We make more on a cup of coffee than we do on a tank of gas, that is why almost every service station now has a "convenience" store. The competition in retail gasoline sales is ferocious.
