Tekkersmom57 Champion Author Syracuse Posts:1,874 Points:700,215 Joined:May 2010	Message Posted: Jan 11, 2013 10:56:41 AM Ignore Tekkersmom57 Report Abuse BINGO, dr047! WHY are the prices up? Last year on this date oil was $101/barrel with gas being $3.53/gallon in my area. Today oil is presently at $92.79/barrel. Well, oil is over $8/barrel lower. For every $1 a barrel of oil decline, gas is supposed to....(SUPPOSE, being the keyword) decline by 2.5 cents per gallon. Doing the quick math 8 x 2.5 equals 20 cents. So gas should actually be $3.33/gallon and today it is $3.63 in my area! Anyone see a problem with that??????
