Seabee1973 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I have gotten this email several times at work and home.

She never responds till the next message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 This is one of the dumber chain e-mails I've seen. Common sense should tell one exactly what the economist on Snopes.com said. It's true of any commodity. That's why price control schemes don't work. If the oil companies can only sell it here for "X" dollars, they'll sell it overseas at the market rate instead and all we'll get here is a shortage of gas.

jbooma Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 You are right about that, sir. No way in hell it ever goes back down.By the way - Exxon and Mobil are the same company. Someone should tell the Email guy. It won't ever go back down due to the dollar and inflation hey it was low for a looooooooong time so I am not complaining, and we are still no where near the levels of cost in europe positives people, positives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackest Eyes Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I heard .5% but either way the price will drop if people are willing to cut back their usage.People needs to stop ****ing and find carpools. PERIOD. I am trying to plan my schedule with my roommates for next year so we can all carpool together, ha. Hopefully it will work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dictator Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Can someone answer this.... When the price of a barrell of oil rises, the price is reflected at the pump the same day... When the price of a barrell of oil falls, the price takes a few days to come down.... why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosher Ham Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I drive to North Carolina to fill up.. its 20cents cheaper.The down side is the 3 hour drive. So math is not your good suit ? I pay between 40 and 50 bucks for a fill-up. Depends on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the price of a barrell of oil falls, the price takes a few days to come down.... why? I'm not in the industry but here's my understanding of it. Say a wholesaler or investor buys oil or gas today at X dollars per gallon. Tomorrow the price drops. Now the wholesaler or incmvestor has all this oil/gas that he's bought at the higher price. Think he's going to just take the loss? :no: He'll maintain the higher price until he sells off all the old inventory bought at the higher price. If OTOH the price of oil/gas rises he simply immediately raises the price and takes the profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
