Still way overpriced. The day after the price of a barrell of oil goes up on the market the price of a gallon of gas goes up at the pump. The minute it goes down it takes forever to go back. Assholes. I love how Alaska has the highest price for gas and Palin is the "energy expert".
isn't some of that due to a "lag factor" of when a particular station gets its supply? I often see no movement at my local station for a week, and then all at once it has gone down ten cents.
Those that have benefited from the inflated gas prices and other war related profiteering are on their way out. So expect it to go down some more.
yes, there is a "lag" for it to go down... but they raise it the minute the price of a barrel of oil goes up. And they make all kinds of excuses as to why they need to raise it so fast, but no one says anything about why it takes so long to go down. I heard that in England the government actually called out the companies for this practice and the price came down more.
I could remember when I used to put $.50, $1 and $2 worth of gas. I also remember running out of gas several times.
You know I was think the same thing but I was planning mine around December, but you make a valid point.
If you really think Republicans can influence gas prices in the short-term... well, I have nothing witty. You're just absolutely wrong.
Once again you misconstrue a post and are needlessly confrontational. You ever have a friendly conversation with anyone? I haven't seen it.
I was kind of half-joking. I don't think lower gas prices really benefit either party or influence the election. I do think the government has a good amount of control over the prices at the pump and manipulate them to serve various agendas. That's not really radical thinking.
