The price of a barrel of oil has gone down 16 percent. Why hasnt gas gone down 16 percent as well?

The gasoline in the ground is already paid for (by the station owner). So they have to wait till they get new shipment.





but when the gas prices go up, they have to charge MORE in advance because they need the extra money for the more expensive gas for the next shipment.

So in the end it is the consumer who always pays more.








Good Luck....
