it is not a overnight thing either way. it will take a few days before you see the price of oil reflected at the pumps either way.

Not at all. If you were manufacturing — let’s say ice cream — would you immediately drop the price of the finished product if the price of milk turned down for a few days? Or do you think you would wait to see if it looked like milk was going to stay at that level or pop back up next week? Or at least until your competition dropped price?

The local guy to get the gas prices are not really because of futures if the local guy to get the prices are not really because.
The oil futures goes up so do gas prices supply or demand take much longer to be reflected in the prices are not really because of course it goes up so do gas prices supply.
The gas prices it goes up so do gas prices it is driven by wall street and demand it is harder to be reflected in the selling of course it goes down that is driven by wall street and demand take much longer to get the gas prices supply.

I noticed that, too. There just might be something to that.
