Oil falls from 147 to 111, a 24% decrease. Meanwhile at the same time, gas prices fall from $4.11 to $3.69, a 10.2% decrease.

Should be obvious.

Even more obvious:

Oil increases from 100 to 110 (10%) gas jumps from 2.75 to 3.30 (20%) OVERNIGHT!

Oil went from $6.50/bbl for sweet crude in ‘99 to 147 in 2008 (up 22.6 times). Gas went from 0.87 to 4.19 (4.8 times).

Oh yeah, definitely rigged.

Gas should have cost $19.66 a gallon.

How come people only do the math to support the whining?

Uh oh, you are insinuating oil companies, suppliers and retailers are gouging and manipulating price....get ready to be flamed by the supply and demand Freepers who believe that could and will never happen. Shame on you for thinking that could happen.
