So why are the damn gas prices going back up?

Up? They dropped about 30 cents more this week in IL and IN, into the $1.85-1.95 range. There are stations at $1.50 in OKC, according to my SIL's FB pics.

I live in NE Alabama.

The stations went from 1.81 to 1.89, overnight Wednesday.

Today, they've gone up another 1-4 cents at various stations.

Still cheap, I agree, but why raise them in the face of prices falling elsewhere and the overage of oil?

The oil companies and refineries have always tried to screw us.

Been that way since Standard Oil figured out that their product wasn't "standard" in regards to the internal combustion engine and the reliance of the public on the fuel to power it.
