I believe that the Big Wigs in control of the price per barrel adjust the prices of gas the way they do so they can jack up the price then lower it just a few cents then raise it again then lower it again just so the next time they raise it, it dose not look like they upped the price of gas so much but by now its like way to darn much. For me and my house we are buying a Prius from Toyota as fast as we can......60 MPH in town...right on!

What makes you think it's "so that people wont complain as much"? Oil is priced according to demand and supply, so unless one of them spikes suddenly, there isn't going to be any major fluctuation. Also, the worldwide nature of the market and the large volume of sales helps smoothen out any spikes.

I notice when they raise prices here it can jump 20 cents a gallon overnight, but when the lower its a couple cents at a time.

I know it stinks but the retailer is getting hammered just like you and me.
so it may be an issue but the oil companies are screwing all of America
