gaschicCT All-Star Author Hartford Posts:945 Points:161,910 Joined:Apr 2008	Message Posted: Oct 17, 2008 10:56:27 AM Ignore gaschicCT Report Abuse Unfortunately, as I understand it, the price of crude oil and the price of gas are not equally related. What I mean is that the reduction in the percentage of the price of crude oil does not equal the reduction in the percentage in the price of gasoline that we get at the pump. I wish it did.

How in the world can the dollar be gaining strength? As the dollar WEAKENS the price should go up, but exactly the opposite is happening... who is pulling whose puppet strings? "W", are you and DickieBoy messing with us?

rydsgr8 Sophomore Author Illinois Posts:130 Points:144,990 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: Oct 17, 2008 10:44:32 AM Ignore rydsgr8 Report Abuse If you were a gas retailer and paid whatever for your gas yesterday, then the price goes up before you sell all of that gas, what do you think the gas is worth that is in your storage tank now? Answer: The current higher price. But on the other side, if the price goes down, and you already spent X dollars for gas yesterday, you have to keep the price high until you purchase more lower price gas to replace what you've sold. Gas is a commodity, like wheat, corn, gold, copper blahblahblah. Like the stock market, it goes up and it goes down. Just drive careful, and if you live in The Peoples Socialist Republic of Chicago? God help you with your gas buying experience.

Hunter97 Rookie Author South Dakota Posts:3 Points:160,210 Joined:Sep 2003	Message Posted: Oct 17, 2008 10:08:11 AM Ignore Hunter97 Report Abuse I disagree with Tobasco. the US Dept of Energy reported for every $1 increase in crude oil price a gallon of gas at the pump increases 2.5 cents. If the increase in oil causes a specific increase at the pump, than a decrease in crude oil should also cause a specific decrease at the pump. But, there again, this never happens because of "price fixing", "market manipulation," and yes - you got it, "GREED"!

The average price for gas last year was 99.9 and today the average is 101.7. Oil today is around $70 a barrel, last year at the same time it was $85. So gas was cheaper when oil was more expensive. Go figure. Can we call this CORRUPTION and GREED?????
