Henry Just heard a reporter from the local NBC station in Ft. Meyers relate the reason why , even though the price of Crude Oil / Barrel has dropped $ 10.00 on the market today, gasoline prices won't drop until the next shipment of oil is bought by the companies in this area ( excuse # 46 )...as opposed to ( excuse # 45 ) whenever the market price of the barrel goes up drastically, causing an immediate raise in gasoline because of the future expense to the various vendors and distributors of consumer purchases
?? Does the Oil Industry think we have short-term memory problems or are we just not intelligent enough to see the hypocrisy
?? At any rate , we're paying 3.63 / gallon today as opposed to 3.58 /gallon yesterday ( at the same location ) and my son is paying 3.95 outside Chicago . Go figure .
