That more often than not Gas prices fluctuate at the same rate as oil...currently, over the past month...crude oil has dropped and gas prices have maintained..What the F### do you think the graphs show? do you even look at them?

Are you aware that the gasoline price in the graphs is not a national average?

Anyway, what your graphs show is that sometimes crude outpaces gas prices, and sometimes that is flipped. I think everyone would agree that it's pretty amazing how consistent it is (because there really isn't any collusion). They also show that one can't say "$80 crude = X in gas" People have asked me that over this thread and I've done my best to accurate, but it isn't linear.

Fuel prices are annoying, especially when reports are out that the US isn't using as much gasoline these days. I get how the economics of it all play out, but it doesn't mean I like it or think that the numbers somehow don't jive (no, no hard facts of this, so don't press). I just check into this thread every now and again to bitch, really.

Our demand is in fact down. Something like 4%. Unfortunately, our "competition's" demand is up more than that decline. It's a global market.

Crude down 3.45% right now at $85.86.

And my price at the pump is up about $.08 from a couple days ago. Yeah holidays! :rolleyes:

Donger 09-07-2011 10:27 AM

Crude up over 3% right now. Approaching $90/barrel.

Donger 09-22-2011 03:02 PM

Crude closed down $5.41 (6.3%) at $80.51/barrel today.

No surprise. Demand is expected to wane with the shitty worldwide economy. There was a story in the KC Star today about utility companies seeing far less demand (and income) due to so many vacant houses.

Yeah, a pretty crappy day all around (or good, depending on your take).
