Actually from Labor Day, my gasoline prices are down 17 cents already. I was paying $1.66 in Missouri, and am now paying $1.49. While 17 cents may not sound like a lot, that's over a 10% drop in just 2 weeks.

Except when the price of oil goes up the impact at the pump is almost immediate, like a 17 cent increase in two days, but when the price of oil goes down, the impact of the pump is seen over a period of weeks.

It is a lot. Recently we paid about $2.00 a gallon before Labor Day. After Labor Day it dropped to $1.91. And yesterday I saw it at $1.85.

So, I have positive proof why gas prices are so high. They are caused by Holidays!
