They won’t fall because the oil companies have figured that the public is too used to paying the current amount, $2.79 in Eastern Washington. They may tweak them up and down slightly to give us the impression their tied to some economic reason. And even if they do fall and maintain that new level for an extended period of time, then look for your state to raise the gas tax to restore it back to the higher price.
Oil drillers and refiners have no more to do with what you pay for gasoline than a cattle rancher has to do with what you pay at the grocery store for steak
“They may tweak them up and down slightly to give us the impression their tied to some economic reason”.....
Isn’t that akin to “price fixing”?
