This ticks me off....
The media says the cost of gas will "rise" (a moderate word)....
Result: gas goes up 30-40 cents....
Today I heard on the radio that gas prices will "fall" (a more extreme word)....
Result: I pass a station that lowered it 2 cents....
CALGON ! - - Take ME Away.
OK, but they have the gas in their tanks at the station. The gas station owner didn't pay more for the gas he already had! He bought it at a lower price, then futures investors start blabbering about increases (you know so they can make more money on their oil investments) and BAM the gas station raises prices in response. THAT's what ticks me off.
Hey, at least it dropped 2 cents! :P

The gas stations have to get their taniks filled up all the time. They have to pay more for each shipment,so I think over all it balances out
Maybe they only make payments to the gas companies after they sell it, if that is so , then they have to raise thier prices because the gas companies want X amount per gallon they've sold..??
