WELL?

Oil futures closed below $94 a barrel Tuesday as worries over a political stalemate in Greece and mixed global economic data weighed on demand prospects, and as the dollar extended its rally to a 12th-straight session.

“When a government is dependent for money upon the bankers, they and not the government leaders control the nation. This is because the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Financiers are without patriotism and without decency.”

WTF OP, you expect the markets and prices to move on fundamentals???

What planet are you living on?

No more drugs for that man, thinks Gas prices should drop just because Oil goes down. Just what does oil have to do with Gas?

Next you'll want to name your own price on airline tickets or auction off useless crap from your garage over the inter-webs.

takes a few weeks for pump prices to reflect barrel prices. And by then the barrel prices may go back up so we may never get a real benefit. Stupid freaking system. Where's my water-powered car??!?

I paid $4.63 up here in Alaska yesterday. BUt that was for premium which is only 90oct, plus the torco fuel additive I have to use which is an extra $10 bucks a fill up. Driving a highly modified car up here really sucks it out of you.

The price of a barrel of oil never had anything to do with the price of gas.

It's what the consumer will pay in the area your in.

Wholesale gas has fallen 50 cents in the past month.
That means more for the middle person and higher prices for the consumer.

You all need to drive more and the price of gas will go down. It's all about over supply of gas not the illusion your told.

Most oil that comes from the US goes to other countries.
The middle east supplies our oil, makes sense Huh

Gas is so expensive, in spite of oil being fairly low priced compared to a high of around $140 pbl in 2008, because the value of the dollar is falling through the floor. Oil is traded globally in USD after all. Gas isnt expensive. Your dollar is just buying less and less.

Isn't it amazing when the price of oranges can be directly tied to a bad or good crop, but no one can definitely say why gas prices wildly fluctuate regardless if oil is up or down? You hear everything from supply and demand, to production issues or refineries not putting out enough to meet the demand, to greedy oil companies or speculative futures. Good God Almighty! I mean WTF????
