the price of gas goes up...IMMEDIATELY. "We need to be able to pay for the oil we have to buy at the new price" is the excuse given.

However, oil went down $4 per barrel today. So, where is the decrease?
"We have to pay for the oil we already refined and put in the storage tanks."

Oh...I see...


You should look at how Valero and Sunoco are doing. Both are companies that have refineries and gas stations, but don't drill or pump their own crude. Neither one is making a lot of money at the moment.

Also, you should try to back your claim that the price of gas goes up IMMEDIATELY, if you can.
