What's interesting is the fare is even lower when a roundtrip is selected rather than a one way. Here the fare is $30 lower for the same flights, then if a one way is selected.

Does this make sense?
When you checked the price to see if it was lower, did you check the price selecting FOUR passengers or ONE? If you chose ONE, could be only ONE, TWO or THREE tickets are available at that price, not FOUR.
