not by my understanding. the mom and pops actually have more flexibility and can set their prices. if you own a franchise of mobile, shell, etc. they set your prices and they are very low. in some cases you break even or even take a small loss selling gas and have to make up for it on convenience store, auto maintenance, ect. Mobile and shell may make 15-20%, not the franchise owner.
