    Get a lot of crude oil at the pump do you?

    Just kidding.

    There is significant lag in prices going down, unlike when they go up.

    More proof that there is collusion some where in screwing the consumer.

    OK Ronno I see your point and concede its a good one.


    HOWEVER...........explain this...... when the price of crude goes up the price at the pump sky rockets like an F-16 getting out of town.



    But when it drops the price at the pump trickles down like a hot air balloon.

    Well. I know a lot, but not everything.

    Can't answer that one. I suppose I could find the answer somewhere.
