No it is called monopolistic control with no other source to make a choice of purchase. When independent gas stations thrived gas was .19 per gallon. The Corps took over and gas is now $4 per gallon. Price controls and the cessation of oil exports from the US are direly in need.

Oil exports from the US aren't the issue. The oil we export is lousy stuff; difficult, dirty and expensive to refine. We import "light, sweet crude", which is far cheaper to turn into gas & diesel.

Since oil companies own and control from earth to pump monopolies your conclusion the retailer makes a few cents per gallon a false assumption. The retailer controls the entire process, selling the crude oil to his refinery, then selling the refined product to his transportation pipe, then selling the transported product to his distribution system, then selling his product to his retail location. From ground to my gas tank the oil company monopoly steps on the profit with a heavy foot.

The oil companies (while very evil) aren't the real driving force behind high prices in America. It's unregulated oil futures trading on the stock market that is mostly responsible for the $4.00/gallon pricing we pay at the pump.
