Bill (and List) , we can all see, & understand the blatent/bald-faced
(to mix some metaphors!) corporate raping going on, but none of us is
able to DO anything about it, so "we" all just kinda look the other-way,
& all of a sudden, the price has gone up by 50 cents, or more....
Do you/anyone THINK that the gas companies are DISMAYED about the
"wholesale" cost of crude-oil going up; oh, yeah, SURE they are.
The most GALLING thing is that/how the price-@-the PUMP (already-refined
& DELIVERED) goes-up, IMMEDIATELY, by nickles/dimes, based upon
seemingly- daily RUMORS/bad-news/economic-projections/
weather conditions/refinery "maintenance-or-damage"/political events
(there's gotta be MORE factors...)
But, what brings DOWN the price of gas? ACTUAL-REPORTS (historical, in
nature) of LESS gas, being consumed, and, gas surplus-supplies,
primarily, and sometimes , OPEC agreements to increase oil production
and/or cost-per-barrel, of crude , SPECIFICALLY. "Rumors" DO NOT tend
to lower the RETAIL-PUMP cost of gas.
