Gas prices only stay in step with oil prices when it is on the way up. When oil drops then we just don't understand the relationship between the two prices.

BluestarAZ, it is not just the CEO's of oil companies. It is the higher up politicians with their high salaries, vacations, and COLA's many linked to inflation. It is many of the CEO's of all large companies who get fat salaries, stock options and huge retirements (even if they are fired). It is even the teaching profession where it is often top heavy with superintendents. A recent article on the Detroit area said one superintendent got the equivelent of over $200,000. Would you want to vote to increase the school millage in that district?

Supposedly the oil companies only make an 8% profit, but when exiting CEOs get a huge severance package, something is wrong somewhere.

Ditto to flyfast. Keep on reducing our driving needs and buying gas only at stations with responsive prices.

Since we never paid $5 for gas, I'm happy the market is recouping some of the losses it took on my behalf. Other posters seem largely unaware that the oil price spike was never absorbed by the market. They can check the graphs right here.

It moves up fast with news of increase in price of oil to pay for future deliveries but then when oil drops you have to pay for the current cost of the gas in the tanks. Looks like you pay for it twice..
