The company I work for has every major brand of gas station in it's network so just cause you see "Shell" or "Esso" doesn't mean that IOL or Shell own those stations.

No, but they own the franchise right. So the question is still valid. If Centex is so concerned about pay at the pump, then they should be making it a part of the contracts they sign with their franchisees. The company is ultimately seeking to deflect blame elsewhere.
