I just dropped nearly $4.60 a gallon for premium. Such is the reality of driving a motor vehicle I suppose.

I believe the article stated that it was 1.2 million gallons of unleaded, not 50,000 gallons.

Crude oil prices have actually been dropping for a while. Not that we see any correlation when we buy fuel.

why should they drop the price? if they can charge more than why not? people will pay and they will make earth shattering record profits for their companies..its business, that's all it ever was.

so evil though..hungry hungry hippos
I hope you are referring to OPEC, but in case you were referring to Exxon, please look up: Profit MARGIN.

People will spend as much as it takes to get gas bottom line, even if it's $10 a gallon.
