    net revenue tends to increase.

    Explanation:

    unresponsive to changes in price of gasoline indicates that there will not be any impact on demand of gasoline whatever may be the change in the price.

    Hence if gas station owner increases the price of gas, demand will remain same. Therefore, there will net rise in revenue for gas station.
