sskybnd Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 heard today that oil was $100.00 a barrel, lowest since feb, thinking great maybe the gas prices will go down and here comes ike, gas went from $3.50 a gal to $3.97 with the oil going down you would think so would the gas, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Oil is down to $92 today and we still are paying over $3 a gallon. One word.........G.R.E.E.D!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 They blame it on the refinery in Houston having to shut down ... I dont get what that should have to do with gas going up ... I mean if there is a shortage why raise the price of gas? Its just an excuse as far as I am concerned. Simple economics says that if it cost less to buy but cost more to make it should equal out ... right? If anything it should just have stayed were it was. Its called price Guaging.

hammerforged Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 They announced on the news this morning that 4 counties in South Carolina are under indictment for price gouging. They wouldn't name the companys or stations involved though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohiobucks Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 ... I dont get what that should have to do with gas going up ... I mean if there is a shortage why raise the price of gas? Its just an excuse as far as I am concerned. Simple economics says that if it cost less to buy but cost more to make it should equal out ... right? I can't explain why gas prices are still too high while the price of a barrel of crude falls to 2/3'rds what it was back in July, but I always thought that simple economics was the law of supply and demand? If there is a shortage, the prices will rise.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

007hunter Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 There is no shortage!!!! Right now there is a surplus of oil and yet prices are still high. Supply and demand are only a piece of the puzzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
