You said — “... forget the chart and just remember the prices you saw yourselves.”

Well, I was telling you what I saw myself. I watched, just recently gas prices jump ten cents, and then another ten cents (at a time) and then another five or so cents, all within a month — and yet the oil prices did not jump up like that corresponding amount.

I watched it from a low of around $1.30 a gallon to up to close to $1.90 a gallon. I did not see that happen to oil.

In fact, I was watching some of that gas price go up and at the very same time, watching the oil price go down.

OK, you don't remember oil at $147 last summer with gas at $4 --or any prices before that, and you don't care about what happened before and you only care about what you got right now and it's not enough.

Ah youth --I remember it well...
