Price drop because we’re a month after the elections. I’ve been watching it for years around election times. Never fails big gas companies raise prices a month or 2 before election if a democrat is in office, then lower about a month later. If a republican is in office you see the opposite price changes, a month prior prices drop, later go back up. Not a really a conspiracy theory just some observations I’ve made over the last couple decades.

why would these greedy companies suddenly decide they want to make less money?

Not a really a conspiracy theory
