It would actually help the gas stations if there were 100% compliance. They could squeeze 7 days worth of sales into only 6 days and cut costs by closing down one day per week.

You're right it might cut costs. But the price of oil that so many people believe seem so concerned apart will not come down until the oil bubble bursts. I don't think a profit of 10 cents per gallon is excessive, and it's not my business to determine the price anyway. The oil companies are publicly owned, by middle class folks. And it's the American people that control the oil companies and could decide that they operate for a loss if they wanted to. I don't see too many people selling their energy stocks in protest.
