just because oil went up today doesn't mean the price of gas will go up tomorrow....or at least that's the way it's supposed to be.

Very few people realize that the speculative market is mostly what's raising the gas prices. Good on you, I could not agree more.

I filed up my DD and 3 5 gallon gas tanks at 3.08 last Monday. It's gone down since then also where I live. But that's for regular I put 93 in the camaro which was at like 3.25 I believe.

I live my life one day at a time so tomorrow's gas prices will be there for me to observe tomorrow when I get to that part of my life. Tonight, a movie and to bed I go.

I'm over gas prices. Yeah, it's expensive, but screw it, I didn't buy my 2ss because I was worried about how much it would cost to fill the tank.

it was actually 7 a barrel, 6 for Brent sea crude. but it actually has more to do with sanctions getting ready to start on Iran. prices will probably move up a bit (futures were oversold) and then stabilize or rise slightly for the rest of the year.

Speculation creates price fluctuation in gasoline prices, not the daily traded price per barrel. If you removed greedy slimy speculators from the oil market, the price of gasoline would crash like a meteorite.
