I hate the price "float" pervasive at the gas pumps. Price of oil goes up, immediate price hike at the pump. It goes down, and they lower the prices as slowly as possible and only because the other stations start working down the prices.
That said, the stations are most certainly suffering economically at this point since much of their profit is from retail sales of drinks and snacks. Have you been in one of these lately? The people working the counters are usually not to blame for the "float" - so in the hope that they'll keep their jobs, I'll give them a pass this one time.
