So oil dropped $16 a barrel last week...

[Ran]

...and prices dropped what, $.03? Yet at the slightest hiccup of oil going up in price, gas prices skyrocket. Gotta love it. :goodjob:

[Sammich]

total BS...but we've seen .10 drop here...

[Stormhammer]

in auburn ga 93 octane at this one gas station was $4.09.

I filled up :D

[Ran]

total BS...but we've seen .10 drop here...Yeah, gas went from $4.01 to $3.99 for regular where I live. God knows that if oil goes back up $5 a barrell then gas will be $4.20 for regular.

[DeutscheBAG!]

Must BS becuase Brett has yet to make a thread about it

[Sammich]

true story...qft

but..we all know they drop the price so they can spike it back up to like +$.30 when gas 'sneaks' back up:gay:

[toxxxic]

gas went UP here.... i live in canton & was headed south and FIGURED it would be cheaper in woodstock.... it was 3.95 off exit 20 and then when i got to 92 (exit 7) it was 4.09 .... fuuuuck that.

[Vteckidd]

it was in the $3.70 range in some places around here in marietta according to that cheap gas atlanta site.

The reason why it hasnt dropped alot is because people know its about to skyrocket again.

Oil price goes up, gas price goes up. Oil price goes down, gas price stays the same. :2up:

oh i agree 100000% with you.

I made a joke about how the if gas station owners here oil went up .01 they run outside to change the sign. When they hear it drops they say "lets see what happens".

Or maybe they have a room where people sit around and say "i think they will pay $5 a gallon, lets go for it".

i paid $3.83 last week in downtown columbus. midtown and northside was like $3.99 to $4.07 for regular. going out of my way 7 miles FTMFW. lol.

Gas prices typically follow behind oil prices by 2-3 weeks. We should see the price of gas decline further by the end of this week into next as long as there is not another spike in oil prices. The sudden jump in gas prices when oil spikes is all based on speculation. They are slower to drop gas prices due to speculators not wanting to lose their asses if and when an increase in oil price occurs.

Let's hope the cost of a barrel of oil continues on a downward trend. We'll slowly see the good come out of it. :goodjob:

Ran its not that hard to figure out why it did not drop much at all.

The gas companies paid for that gas before the price of oil dropped so they need to get rid of this supply of more expensive gas before they are gonna lower the prices so they do not lose money. Gas stations dont make much money at all from gas, its all from the food and ciggs and beer.

[eViLMunkey]

I haven't seen shiat it's gone up to $5.15 for Regular.. I wish it was cheap up here like it is down there..

[Kevykev]

^ ooops


:thinking: wait!....what?

:lmfao:

[eViLMunkey]

oh I forgot to add the raise in gas prices is due to the addition of Ethanol in the fuel since it costs more to make it than regular gas since it's derived from corn, which has driven up the price of alot of produce too if you haven't noticed. Also the flooding in Iowa and other states that produce the corn has caused a decrease in supply thus driving up the price.


- I did pay alot of attention in Econ. (good shiat knowing how to make money and economic depressions work for you)
