That's what they tell you so you feel better I guess? Look at the prices in your area, low end is $2.02 up to $3.45, wtf is that all about?

I know they raised the prices according to the market, it doesn't mean that it cost them that much more to supply you with the gas, but they charged you plenty more to buy the gas! Now that the cost to supply is down huge, and the demand is down, they still want to charge you for lost income? Are they making up for lost car repair income? Lost sales on coffee? etc....
I go to a gas station that sells beer at state minimum and fuel among the state low prices! $1.69 at a local today for gas, and yet there are stations local selling for $2.50+.
