Gas will not go down significantly regardless of the price of crude.

Gasoline is also driven by insane federal regulations, dozens and dozens of different required formulations for different cities. All for the purpose of driving up gas prices.

How is a single refinery supposed to make 59 varieties of gas (contaminated with subsidized ethanol) and deliver as such.

Face it, the feds will regulate out of the cost of gas any improvements that accrue from lower crude prices.

The Feds are gonna make the refineries take more Sulfur out of gasoline like they did a few years back with Diesel.

Definitely won't help the price of gasoline.

Exactly. It’s not an oil price issue at all. The two are disconnected.
