I don't think station owners are really benefiting from the high gasoline prices. In fact, I think it may end up hurting their bottom line. The increase in the cost of a barrel of oil comes far before any involvement from station owners.
I imagine most stations set their prices near to, or at, the minimum gasoline price allowable by law. With this, their profit per gallon of gas would remain relatively constant. With higher gas prices encouraging at least a minimal effort of forced conservation, the reduced consumption would in turn lower their total profits from gasoline.

I wouldn't want to cause our fellow WOD member Tom Severson to choke, even
though he is probably getting filthy rich at our expense. But if it would
bring back dollar a gallon gasoline I'd be willing to make the sacrifice
and not patronize his station this Thursday. If it works, maybe we could
apply the same tactic on his Krispy Kreme donuts.
