a long time to come. If oil prices stay below $100/barrel, it might fall sometime after labor day.

They always say it's because of the switch to summer gas formulas...coincidentally, just when many Americans are going on holiday. Coincidentally.

The gasoline that is coming to your pump was bought weeks ago, and with summer driving season approaching, it's not going to go down, but the price raises that we've seen over the past several months might be slowed somewhat.

This is just the speculators dumping their positions on the surprise of the death of bin Laden, it's just a blip. The basic underlying causes of the oil price rise are still firmly in place, and before long, the speculators will wander back into the oil market, they always do.

then that when the price of oil increased, gas prices did not wait for new supply but the increment was seen
immediately without waiting on new supply, how does that logic work out?

Oil prices rose before gasoline prices did. Both have been rising so fast for so long, that it's difficult to not see them in absolute lockstep with each other.

I do expect gasoline prices to pause for only a bit in a few weeks, after the Memorial Day holiday. I also expect oil prices to rise again in a week or two, as I said, the underlying causes are still there. The rest of the world seems to have recovered, and will keep up the demand for petroleum products. We will continue printing, and thus devaluing, money, and that will drive the price in dollars up.

the price of oil on a given day and look for spikes and dips.

If the oil companies see a spike, they panic and raise prices immediately to cover potential future costs. When the price of oil dips, they react slower and take a more cautious approach.

But let's be really honest, if supply and demand were true market factors, a gallon of gas would cost around $10.00. Oil companies over estimate supply to keep up with demand. It's a rigged game that can only be carried on for so long. Ask an oil company and they will tell you that we have another 10 to 20 years before hitting peak oil. Ask most people who study the oil industry and they will tell you that we passed peak sometime around 2004-2006.

If this trend is sustained, then prices will eventually dip. But right now you're looking at only a few cents.

I'd prefer to get gas next Tuesday than today. The short term trend is down but the stations are always quick to rise, slow to drop.

Hey, we might as well play it up.

BUT thanks for the heads up, i wont fill it up, just enough to get around.

on the "market", it can drop like a stone & it takes MONTHS to drop at the pump, and then it goes down a penny here, a penny there
