strange, just a couple weeks ago, they said we were down drastically which is why the oil futures soared on the stock market and allowed the gas prices at the pump to jump up!!
now, it is surprisingly better off and the prices are dropping at the pump!!

Prices at the pump do not reflect these statistic. Prices should be dropping by more than a cent or three with the higher inventories reported and the end of summer travel just about upon us.

So where are the reductions in prices at the pump. Oh yes, the HO wants to "redistribute" wealth and "transform" america. (Little "a" ... stature has been lost since "the HO" became the "leader" ... chief distructionist in Washington D.C.)

Spearfish, Sturgis and Rapid City South Dakota are full of GREED; their prices are still 32-42 cents higher than mid February 2010!!!!!! Interstate 90 in western South Dakota is the major ripoff.

Still hard to raise prices with high unemployment and businesses afraid to commit money to hiring with the government off on vacation instead of letting them know what government will do to businesses.

When will these idiots realize that oil prices are NOT determined by supply and demand but rather by greed and speculation. But then again the DOE is the government so I guess that's not too surprising.

No matter what ANY numbers say, the price at the pump stays just about the same. "They" must be doing it with mirrors. You can't even bring your own popcorn into the theater. There is no other "popcorn" . Sure is tiring being raped daily and repeatedly by OPEC and big oil, aided and abetted by our "elected" officials. NO MORE VOTING!! Don't buy into that phony game.

Just means they already cut back oil deliveries at one location to try and create a shortage to push prices up. They probably had contracts still obligated to deliver at other loc. Soon that will likely be going down to match prices.

If these are the DOE report highlights, I don't want to see rest of the DOE report. In fact, I don't want to see the DOE report at all.

instead of rejoicing about possible lower pump prices, politicians are plotting higher gas taxes and saying we will not notice if pump prices stay the same.
