Another 10 cent hike today. What's the excuse this time?

pick a news article , any excuse will do with the petrol companies.

Prices fall by 75% on oil and gas prices drop down maybe hmm 30% .. oil stays same and gas prices slowly climb back up to where they were anyways..

That's called a free market economy, capitialism. You're a conservative, you should know that ;)

Stock market is not controlled by anything besides supply and demand, same as fuel prices.

So, your saying demand for diesel is really high right now and that is what is driving the price up?
Ya, sure the thousands of drilling rig's and support equipment IE- water truck's,winch truck's,bed truck's,
picker's,welder's,rig hand's,push's,ect,ect. Must really be sucking up ALOT of fuel right now......................

AB, produces WAY more fuel that it can burn even when the economy was ballz to the wall. That's why
there is so many train's full of it heading to the states. (and it sell's for way less on it's arrival than you or I
can buy it right beside the place of origin)
Supply and demand is BS unless your competitor is out of stock on the item you have for sale.
$90 oil to $37 oil is 59% price drop
$1.10 diesel to .87 is 21% price drop.
Where is the other 38%? Supply and demand my azz..........We are getting RAPED, plain and simple.
