Hope he vows to raise the prices, that'll bring them down if his track history holds up.
Doubt it.

Guessing that some stations/businesses change rates daily and some weekly. Burchmart had their prices at $3.39 for quite a few days after Wawa changed theirs to $3.49.A friend of mine posted on FB that local gas prices went up 20 cents last night.
I can't speak for anyone else, but long ago when I worked at a self service station, our price was .05 to .06 cents over cost. If we got a delivery and the price increased, we would change the price to reflect the new cost. It was a very slim profit margin.
Did the price remain the same until the next delivery?
Yes. Of course, we're talking about the early 80s.
Was it back in the '90s when stations were changing their prices multiple times during the day. I remember pumping gas at the Sheetz at Rt5/GMR watching the prices on the sign change. When I hung the nozzle back up, the price on the pump had changed as well.
I think the State finally stepped in and told them to knock it off.

Back when I was talking about, each pump had to be opened up and manually calibrated for price/gallon. Now, I'm sure it's done by programming the console inside the store.
Diesel was all over the place just between the 7D and Solomons. I think it's still $3.59 at our corner store, but $3.99 at Solomons Fast Stop. Crazy. I really love my 42mpg Jetta.And diesel

My son has a 2006 Dodge 2500 with a Cummins. Surprisingly that thing gets between 18-22 mpg depending on how it’s driven. Prices here around northern Calvert are mostly around $4.00 a gallon.
