"Refinery issues and speculation about refinery issues has a lot of money betting on still higher prices," Kloza said.

This was as obvious as the movement of the hands on a clock ( For those who can tell time on an analog clock).
The gradual price drop before the election until now (with the persuasion of the White House) was predictably going to sky rocket after the annointment of Czar B.O.!

Lately, every time I fill up, I see the person behind me got $10 or $15 worth of gas. People are buying just enough to get them where they need to be. I think this year is going to push a lot of people over the financial cliff.
