Why do gas prices go up 30cents in a day but come down a penny or two in a week? |
shouldnt they go down in the same rate as going up IMO..it's their way of breaking the hike to us... take it way up, bring it down a little thinking naive consumers will appreciate the decrease after the shock of smacking us with the ridiculous boost of gas per gallon. (and pleez don't tell us we should compare to the cost of milk per gallon and be happy with it.....they don't hike milk up 30 cents at a time..and we don't need it to get to work on time, if it's too much we can choose to not buy it. but you can't choose not to go to work because you don't want to buy gas) "they" will tell us it's compared to the cost per barrel, but there are too many fluctuations within a small territory..so it doesn't make sense. yeah, i'll stick to smack em' with the bat on their head (3.25 per gal)....and then lessen the blow with a flyswatter, they'll be glad that's all the hurt they got then...... if u get my drift...... (meanwhile, someone's getting fat) gas station owners experiment with the prices it's a conspiracy.. the gas companies want us to pay $4/gallon next year, so they're getting us used to $3.10 - $3.40/gallon now. as the price slowly climbs up, we tend to simply forget that gas USED TO BE a dollar less. but we also forget Chevron/Texaco posted massive quarterly profits, as did ALL of the gas companies, so, where's the savings for us? did they try to help the community by lowering prices? NO, they gouged us again and again. Eventually we will get used to $4/gallon and nobody will complain. |
