Every day, 40 million Americans fill up and way more than that will be talking about gas prices. 

Hint: Presidents have little control over gas prices—and neither do convenience retailers.

Here's why retailers and consumers should care about swipe fees, and what they can do about it.

Is it the banking and credit card industry, or the retailer? The answer is obvious.

Yes, they make money—but let’s look at how much profit is from gas.  

The question drivers are asking after oil prices dropped significantly, to under $100 a barrel.

Gas prices have surged past $4 a gallon. What caused previous peaks and valleys with prices?

There is no “average” fuel retailer, so all the costs that go into a gallon of gas vary from station to station.

Turns out that U.S. presidents have very little control over the price per gallon consumers pay at the pump.
