So oil nosedives yesterday, and here in central IL, gas jumps from $4.03 to $4.18. WTH?
Gas Prices?

You really thought you'd see the price of gas go down when the price of oil goes down?
Just because the price of gas goes up when oil goes up, even though that oil doesn't land in your tank for weeks, don't expect the oil companies to do the same when it drops. That's NOT how they operate.

well how about the taxers looking to loot you in more ways now looking in to taxing you per mi driven with some sort of gps counter nice very nice.how about takint the fed highway system and giving control to the states and let the states decice how much to tax the gas and what roads need fixing ?well cuz then you cant buy votes with road and bridge jobs that is why.

they have not dropped a penny here yet!!!!!!!!!
Citgo station out by I39 went from $4.12 to $3.95 in a day and a half. Good to see.
However, Kwik Trip sations went from 4.09 to 4.07, then dropped to 3.99. Of course it took them 2 and a half days to do it, even though it went up .10 overnight last week.
And what the heck is up with Kwik Trip stores, do they run the gas market in other towns like they do in Portage? NO OTHER gas stations raise or lower their prices until Kwik Trip does. What is up with that?

Was $4.11 Friday near WI Dells on our way up to the camper. Today it was down to $3.84. ***??? how can this be? The government needs to get involved some way, some how, and get things regulated and stabilized. It takes a lot of nerve for producers to post record earnings when it's killing the rest of the nation's economy. People aren't gonna shop when they can't afford to drive to the stores. Why is this so hard to understand? I say set the price at $2.50/gallon and leave it there for a few years and hopefully it would help people get a hold of things and get on their feet. I think it's time for the THEIVES of OPEC and other producers in the oil/gas business to break even or lose some money for a change!!!
