Well I feel partially responsible for this, so I'll do my best.

1. I believe they lose money, so technically a profit of 0.

2. Between 0 and 25 cents? I'm not entirely sure whether to approach this as gallon of gas imported, or simply a gallon of gas sold at an Exxon gas station, or whether there's a meaningful distinction.

3. Say $2.

[NB: my answers were clouded by the belief that I can guess what point you are making.]

This is a problem I am not sure how to get around. By posing the question, I am unwillingly communicating the information that the question and answer will be interesting, a big clue. I should post some dull, unsurprising questions under the quiz tag to throw you off.
