Funny how it never drops as fast as it climbs in price.

Fishy no it isn't.........funny, that is You know how I meant that. The fact that corporations can gouge us is disgusting, while our lackey politicians stand around and give sound bites while taking money behind the scenes to get re-elected to do it all over again is just as disgusting. Rant out. Fishy

No schit...when oil prices on the Exchange rise (which will effect the cost of the gas that shows up in our pumps in what, a month? Two months?)...the price of gas goes up ten minutes later.
Price drops on the market...yeah, no commensurate drop in gas prices.
Same with every time a Middle East dictator sneezes, or a storm approaches the Gulf of Mexico.
Fish on...

Gas prices are controlled by the oil companies but the retailers have a stake in the slow drop in prices as well. You wouldn't expect someone who bought a storage tank of gas at a certain price when oil was more expensive to immediately drop the price if the cost of oil drops. Wouldn't do much for his lower-than-you-think profit margin. Hank, Your point about inventories is well taken. Only a fool would buy gas at $3.00 a gallon and sell it at $2.50. But about margins. Their huge volume makes a small margin very profitable I keep hearing how low their margins are. But just down the street from me is a guy who has a $2M home, toys in past years including helicopters, huge motor home, full sized palms planted around the pool and pool house, thoroughbred horses, etc.,etc. etc. What's he do? Oh yeah he inherited three gas stations. His margins appear to be just fine. I do not begrudge his lucky sperm status, but don’t ask me to weep for his low margins.

I'd more readily accept that arguement if the owner of said storage tank did not raise prices until the aforementioned tank was emptied of the gas bought at the previous cost, not as soon as the price of oil went up.

I saw mine as news - not commentary.
In my own words - Gas prices are falling. They fell anaverage of .11 per gallon nationally in the past two weeks. The trend is expected to continue.
