The odd thing is that every time oil goes up on the stock market stations change their prices even if they do not have gas delivered. It is almost like the old price wars in reverse, instead of who can have the lowest price on a corner now it's who can have the highest.

Yeah prices have dropped slightly here too. Doubt it will last.

The oil companies want make sure that they squeeze that last penny out of the gas they made from oil bought in June and July whereas the per barrel prices we see are for oil to be bought next month. It's a ripoff to be sure but the Oil Companies have been ripping us off since the days of Rockefeller and Standard Oil.
