    I am the last guy to like corporations, but they wouldn't.

      I think you underestimate the greed of America.

        Sava, when prices were low, you didn't pay the same price, did you?


        Ahh, lucky us, we don't have to care, the government regulates fuel prices here.

          in 2000, gas prices rose to record levels... yet the supply prices remained unchanged... Exxon/Mobile increased their profits 75% during this time. so roll your eyes at yourself

            Sava, whilst petrol prices are upwards sticky, I don't think they are that sticky.

                Sava's right. They(prices) take a lot longer to go down than they do going up.

                    there have been numerous investigations into gas prices by politicians- including in my state.

                    The reason why prices jump so fast and decline so low is the refineries price their product based on what they expect the supply will be in 30 days or so. So basically they play a guessing game at what to price their product. I hear that many U.S. refineries struggle to break even.

                      4 cents? That's just outrageous. Try 4 euros buddy. Welcome to Finland!

                          Well there is a reason that you won't see many stand alone gas stations anymore... they don't survive. They now have to rely on their in station store to make any real kind of reasonable profits.

                            Thank you for referring to them as gas stations, as they are certainly no longer service stations.

                              Sava we went thru the corporate math in the Exxon thread. Don't make me repeat myself... I'll have to charge you an exhorbitant "consultancy" fee!


                              Be the bid!

                                On the way home form a golf course out in the sticks, I stopped at an old 2 pump place, and the guy actually came out, pumped the gas, cleaned my windshield and checked the oil. I was so shocked that the next day, I figured that due to all the beer we drank, it must not have really happened. The tank was almost full though.
