Texaco's practice of selling gas to some gas stations at a lower price than to Hasbrouck constitutes illegal price discrimination, which refers to the practice of charging different prices to different buyers for the same product or service without any reasonable justification.

In this case, Texaco does not have a cost justification defense or a competition defense, as it sold gas to some of its customers for less than to Hasbrouck without any legitimate reason. Therefore, Texaco's pricing practices towards Hasbrouck constitute illegal price discrimination.
