I had no idea that you can run your gas on oil. What kind of car do you have? ;-)

Gas is made from oil, it isn't straight oil. There has been quite a large hurricane in the Gulf... where a good portion of our gas is created from oil. Also, just because oil prices are at $X today, doesn't mean the refineries got them at $X... they still need to get their money back from buying oil at $Y.

The price of gas has a couple week delay on oil. Give it time, it will drop.

I'm glad that oil is dropping, but I really hope this doesn't make people suddenly forget the energy situation we are in.
