Explain to me how this works [View All]

I didn't get gas yesterday, I didn't find the time. I needed to fill up for a trip I'm taking tomorrow. Gas was posted yesterday at $3.899 a gallon @ 7:30 p.m. This morning about 11:00 a.m. I went to buy gas, it was now $3.979 a gallon, an increase of 8 cents (same station). The station did not get a delivery of gas overnight, I asked the clerk. I did get 16 cents off per gallon, because of perks I received at a grocery store, that helps but the sting is still there.

How can the price of a product be increased when it's all ready been put in the station at a lower price? This is like, if I were in the grocery store and picked up a can of peas and the clerk puts a new price on the can as I take it off the shelf, because he just got a new shipment in (not on the shelf yet) at a higher price.

There has to be collusion somewhere in this process. Has anyone read anything new on the investigation Holder is conducting on this issue?
