Oil prices...I just don't get it! ?

With oil prices tubling to about 100.00, why aren't they ';tumbling'; at the pump? Why is it if oil increases, you see the increase the next day at the pump but if they decrease, you hardly notice? What in sam hell is going on here? Oil prices...I just don't get it! ?
Talk about adding insult to injury, wait for the next quarterly profit reports in mid October. I predict they will be the highest ever! They are feeding on the decline in crude prices more than they ever did on the rise. Hey they yell drill, drill but the profits don't go there w/o tax breaks. The oilco's only buyback their shares after the top management people get their huge bonuses prior to their sudden retirement announcements. The last CEO who retired from an Oilco, went home silently with 400,000,000 $.





We should all understand that this is the freebie moment between presidential elections where the outgoing oilmen,the President and the VP do zip!





BTW the correct euphemism is ';What the Sam Hill is....';


sam hill also Sam Hill 锟斤拷 (sm hl) KEY 锟?br>




NOUN:


Slang


Used as an intensive: What in sam hill is going on?








ETYMOLOGY:


Ultimately alteration of hell ';Oil prices...I just don't get it! ?
In reality, gas should fall as quickly as do the oil prices on the market. But in actuality, they do not. Why??? Because when the oil prices fall, companies begin to really make money. It all has to do with the speculators on the stock market. If someone farts in the Gulf of Mexico, the speculators buy into oil causing prices to go up. If this seems a little unnerving then you are right. In my own opinion, speculators are the reason for why oil prices are always so high, they are the reason why gasoline prices are so high, and they are the reason the market is so volatile right now.


Thank you for asking this question
You must be very young to ';not get it';


We are being manipulated and have always been. This is nothing new and there is nothing that we can do about it.


Money and power is what people are after.


There is no where in the world that you can ignore the established Govt. and get away with it. Just try not paying taxes, or driving w/o a lisc, or a million other things that ';they'; order you to do. We are controlled by either big govt, or very rich people and there is no way around it..


You can only do what you can and get by.. sorry but that is reality..
Demolition of oil using jets and cars not happening plus switch to alt currency Civic one not there. Civic Mints.





If not wag question.
suppliers aren't going to just lower prices because they are getting a good deal on gas...if the demand for gas stays high than the prices aren't going to lower as much
