Crude goes down $25/barrel, gas drops 50 cents

Crude goes up $2/barrel, gas goes up $1.50

More to gasoline than the price of crude

Crude is a good leading indicator though

Yeah, but you're really, really rich, so it shouldn't bother you much


ETA: Sorry. I confused with that other LA tech poster who pretends to be rich but is so broke he steals from Academy. My bad

Don’t take this personally, but everywhere I look I see people cry-cry-crying about gas prices. Many narrow-mindedly let gas prices dictate their entire political opinion.

You know what I don’t see? People slowing down on being constantly up and down the roads. If it is such a burden to you financially, park your vehicle unless you need to go somewhere. Nope, much easier to bitch.

You’re not entitled to cheap gas. Adjust your lifestyle or stop bitching.

If they could keep gas prices high all the time they would.

It’s almost like you’re buying the gas now that was produced when oil was higher.

But I’m sure you’re right, there’s no competition between gas stations and they all keep their prices high artificially.

By this logic we were buying gas produced when oil was lower. Right?

How did that work out?

Yep…. many will go in the voting booth and think…. “gas prices are too dang high”…. and they’ll vote Dem (mainly voting against OMB) maybe not knowing the Dems have no answers and will prolly make the problem worse.

While I generally agree with your statement, mobility is a stable of the America dream.

A good steak is a staple of my American dream. I haven’t had one in months because of beef prices, but I’m not constantly bitching about it.
