Good morning, Gents.

I haven't seen the drop down this way. Hoping to see it soon. But, I'm wondering if the threat of putting some of our reserve into the market OR the threat of a price gouging investigation is doing the trick?

Price gouging? Maybe but the refineries or distributors, but the oil companies don't set the price for their own product. Oil is a commodity so the price is set by the market. Gas stations face too much competition to try to rip-off anyone. They make only a few cents profit on each gallon.
