Two Part Gas Price Lowering Question...

1. Can someone explain why the cost of gas is going down?  Is it a push from overseas, national production, or corn boom?  
Or is it a plain jane political push?

2. Further, can someone expalin why locally there is a huge difference between the cost of regular to mid grade/premium?
Example: Unleaded $3.17, Mid Grade $3.49 Premiun $3.69.

My guess is demand went down or supply went up

Value of dollar going up, which means commodities such as oil, gold, and silver (which are bought and sold with dollars) go down.

It went up 10 cents a gallon here yesterday.   Hopefully it starts heading back down again.

Still low in some stations, and again a .30 spread between 87 and 89.

Weird, but I don't mind paying 3.17 for Exxon (credit).
