There's a big oil company cut though and they control the prices. Case in point - whenever crude per barrel goes nuts, the price at the pump goes up immediately. When the price of crude goes back to "normal", it takes forever to come down at the pump (and it never goes back to what it was)

?1.20(ish) for 95 here.
