Now we will see that crazy phenomenon where we hear that a decrease in the price of oil "will take months" to be felt at the pump, whereas an increase is somehow felt the very next day. Mark my words.

I've got an idea that he could try as well. Bush tells the nation that the first proposed new refinery and first new atomic plant to be designed and submitted for approval will receive full Executive protection from Judicial injunctions and restrictions against it being built.
Should make for an interesting government scramble and drop gas prices as well.

NEW YORK - US oil prices fell about 4 per cent on Thursday after the US energy secretary said the Bush administration was considering relaxing clean-burning petrol regulations in three states.
The pump prices for petrol may fall if rules are relaxed in California, New York and Connecticut, which have asked the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to waive requirements for specially blended petrol this summer because the states have not met federal air pollution guidelines.
"It's my understanding that EPA is seriously considering looking at this request," US Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham told a Congressional committee on Thursday.
An EPA spokesman confirmed the agency is considering the requests but has set no time frame for action.
The US currently has record high petrol prices, with the pump price of regular fuel averaging US$1.76 per gallon, according to the US government.
Californians are paying about US$2.13 per gallon for self-serve regular petrol, which is the highest in the nation.
New York's average petrol price is about US$1.87 a gallon and it is about US$1.81 in Connecticut, according to the American Automobile Association, a motorists' group.
US light crude ended at US$34.27 a barrel, down US$1.49 on the day.
US oil prices were already down about 50 cents when the news of the possible petrol waivers emerged.
The oil market reacted sceptically to the Opec cartel's Wednesday agreement to implement a previous commitment to tighten supply by 1 million barrels per day beginning Thursday. Market participants say they do not expect Opec to fully implement its cut.

Since it is your contention that the price of gasoline is completely and artificially controlled by a small cartel of Exxon, Shell, and others - please explain to me why they allowed the price of gasoline to fall today. Do they just feel like not making as much money today as they did yesterday?
