I'm sure I also saw, on another news report within days about Gas dropping below $81.00. Not that it means anything that Gas is cheaper but I don't think I'm the only one that feels this way. Just hear about Gas increasing by the barrel and you see the local pumps at almost all stations jump some $0.05 to $0.10 a gallon immediately. Never mind these stations did not get a new shipment of gasoline overnight or that the tanker truck hasn't visited the station in days.
Now the opposite (granted it doesn't happen as much as I would like) let the gas prices per barrel drop by dollars and it takes a month or surely weeks before you see falling prices at the tanks of most all stations.
Ask the station workers and you get a statement like well we have to compensate, at the pumps, for the prices we will pay for the next tanker of Gasoline. Then when ask about reductions of price by the barrel and you get statements like, "well the price of the gas that we purchased that is in the ground was actually higher than the barrel price".
You can't have it both ways, at least not legally so there is but one explanation. We (Consumers) are being gouged.
