If the price had gone up, we would be seeing prices at the pump rise immediately. But days into to downturn, the price of gas hasn't dropped in my area. News reports today even said they were hopeful that it wouldn't go up very much more for a while. lol

Shouldn't we be under $2 right now?

Last time oil was at this per barrel price...at the pump per gallon prices were $.30 to $.40 cheaper...gouging.

Well you see, when the barrel price goes up, the price at the pump goes up right away because they will have to pay more for the new fuel coming.
When the price of the barrel goes down, all that expensive fuel is still in the pipeline, so it takes time before the price goes down.. Then the price will go up magically just before new cheap fuel enters the pipeline, usually because of a scare in the ME or something.

Then people stop b*tching,or something else comes alot to b*tch about, and the never ending gouge is forgotten about for a while
