Oil prices continue to drop (currently $57.00 a barrel), yet the price at the pump continues to steadily increase since it's sharp drop last month. When oil was $60+, it was $1.99 for gas here, yet, now it's $57.00 a barrel, and the price has crept up to between $2.09 and $2.19. Don't gas stations/oil companies realize that the average consumer is not ignorant and that they can no longer get away with saying they "can't control" the prices because the cost of oil overrules that? I know that we have no choice but to continue to buy gas, and yes, the prices are alot lower than they used to be, but that is no excuse, since gas should have NEVER been that high to begin with. This still is not "relief" to me, and I doubt it is to anyone else, especially when we continue to witness gas/oil companies growing profit margins.
