So why are we still seeing gas at $2.35 or more a gallon?

Because that gas was refined with $70/bbl oil. We won't feel this for a month or more.

Gas stations are not necessarily owned by the oil companies

Because that's a price we are willing to pay?

Gas has dropped 30 cents a gallon in the last two weeks around here. It was 2.35, now it's 2.05 with some stations under $2.00.

Cue the suspicious refinery fires < /tinfoil hat>

$1.93 in my neck of the woods (MA) over the weekend. When I saw the sign, I just about crapped me pants.

From Answers.com"

Sometimes, gas prices go up even though there is plenty of crude oil on the market. It depends on what kind of oil it is. Oil can be classified as heavy or light, and as sweet or sour (no one actually tastes the oil, that's just what they call it). Light, sweet crude is easier and cheaper to refine, but supplies have been running low. There's plenty of heavy, sour crude available in the world, but refineries, particularly those in the U.S., have to undergo costly retooling to handle it.

Gasoline? People want it for their cars and trucks.

Why gasoline follows oil up but not down

Because that is what the consumers will pay. That and some of the oil the gas came from was more expensive.

I paid $1.97 to fill my tank today at a truck stop. I should have waited until after I ate. As I sat there, the price was changed to $1.96
