Can someone explain to me something about the price of gas?

How come when oil goes up, the price at the pump goes up, but when oil goes down the price at the pump either stays the same or takes 2 weeks for it to go down a bit????

1. the oil companies are too busy counting the loot to lower the price.

2. Pretty much what I thought. Thanks for confirming it.

3. Amazing, isn't it?

If prices go up, they immed. jack up the price on gas they've already paid for at the earlier, lower price. Amazing. And sickening.
