You don't work for an Oil Company, do you?

When I filled up yesterday, our pumps were set to $2.620, about $0.10 cheaper than average for the city where I work, and $0.25 cheaper than the midgrade at the Marathon I pass by on my daily commute. Our pumps tend to lag on price changes, sometimes significantly. When the price goes up, (I'm guessing) management runs the tanks nearly empty before calling in a refill. This was great last summer immediately after Katrina, as we were, at one point, nearly $0.50 cheaper than other stations. Of course, this also means we're slower on the downside, this past spring, there was about a week where it was cheaper to go down the street.
And no, I don't work for an oil company (they'd probably shoot me if they saw the HCHii). The founder of my company lived through the 70's oil embargo, and put the pumps there to make sure his employees could always get gas. So despite being without him for 20+ years now, his idea has remained
