Gas Station

Why the change in the price of gas while it is in the subway station gas cylinder?

So, my real question is whether the gas is already in the ground and bought at a price determined by the gas station, why is it still growing? will not change it on the delivery truck when gas after it is purchased by a different price? These are some questions that I missed the answers for a long real-time!

So, there is a great place where they make the most profit possible, but do not drive away business. This is the price you are charged. Here's an example: You buy a house for $ 200K. You live in it for a year. After the year, house prices have risen in your neighborhood and your house is worth $ 300K. You'll sell it for $ 300K right, not $ 200K.
