Lower Gas Prices - hanserus - 10-31-2008
What really ticks me off about it is that crude future prices should effect the price at the pump with a 9 month lag considering it takes 3 months to fulfill the contracts and another 6 months to get everything refined and distributed [however] pump prices go up immediately when futures go up [but] they don't go down when price of stock market crude goes down
Tell me why?

Greed and bafflegab - plus the government and the oil companies want their profits to stretch out as long as possible before having to go down to avoid price-fixing investigations. <_<

we'll at least we're at the below 90c mark right now which actually we've been conditioned to believe is a bargain of a lifetime

still 98 in Sudbury and only going down a cent every couple days. They'll increase it 10 cents in one day but god forbid if they should lower it any more then a cent at a time. Lowest in Ontario right now is 82 cents in Brockville according to http://www.ontariogasprices.com/

just yesterday dropped to 98c in vancouver, but only in the late evening. for the rest of the day it could be as high as 107. we have this wierd hourly changing rate. i dont know why the price of gas can flucuate like 10 cents in the course of a day. and it does this every day
