Oil Thieves at It Again- World Price Down 20 percent. but pump one percent

[Stuart G]

They are at it again. while the World Price has gone from 85 a barrel to 68, the price at the pump has gone down 3 cents where I live. Or about one percent. I am so angry at the assholes.

3. The new "floor" was set at $3 a while back. They know we'll accept

$3-something, but not $4, so why lower the price?

I remember when it jumped to $2..I said then, that it was a test..and in a year it was over $3 and then over $4.

We are being manipulated, and as long as people need gas to get to work, nothing will change:(

7. As long as people think they need gas, nothing will change

If everyone who lived a short distance from work walked or biked the oil barons would get soaked.

But since the people who live close will only save a few cents and are sweat-phobic it will never happen.

4. I noticed a while ago that no one discusses gas at the pump prices anymore

or even the price of a barrel of crude. They used to practically announce that daily.

My personal theory is that the oil barons have decided that cowlike Americans are ok with gas hanging in around 2.60- 2.80 a gallon at the pump - it's our new normal and we've adjusted. It's only when gas heads towards 3.00 that we get all PO'd.
