The news has been saying that the price of oil had decrease for three days in a row. Data indicates that Americans were using 5% less gas. More Vespas on the road?.. coincidence

could be...

But if oil has gone down in the last three days, why has gas climbed at the pump?

Oh yea, the Free Market - I forgot.

USE LESS GAS!

The price of oil goes up, and the price at the pump rises exponentially overnight (as if by magic).

Price of oil drops, and they said on the financial news this morning that it will take 4 -5 weeks to see a drop in prices at the pump.

Don't tell me the oil companies are looking out for us the consumers, because I won't believe you.

If anyone's asking you to believe that oil companies are supposed to look out for consumers, just tug on their mullet and walk away.

Oil companies look after oil companies... consumers look after consumers. that's the way the free market works. 'pretty simple.
