The price of a barrel of oil isn't the only thing controlling gas prices. There is still the cost of refining, shipping, paying the people that work at the gas station, taxes, and that evil thing, profits. The price of a barrel of oil is only part of the equation, so a 30% drop in the price of oil is not going to be a 30% drop in the price of gas. So yes, there is a logical reason as to why your getting "ripped off."

Holy crap, the sky is falling!

JK, we have agreed on more than you think, although doesn't seem like it here in recent months.

$3.19 is as low as I've seen it around my way. Most places are in the low $3.20's

Re: F... gas prices

The Exxon and Wawa nearest to me is $3.11. However, the Frederick Costco is selling it for $2.92. Supposedly there was a huge line over the weekend, many deep, and long wait times.
