According to the news, demand is still in the toilet. Oil is used for many things, not just gasoline. $36/barrel is $36/barrel, how does that translate to more at the pump?

Yip. Notice how gas prices are SLOWLY creeping back up even though the price of oil is down? Very sly of BIG OIL to get more money. What is sad is that no one in government notices. And if they did, they do nothing because they are all in the back pocket of the oil company.

I'm predicting that by the summer we will be back to $3 (in California anyway) and maybe more. Recession or not, the oil turds want their money and don't care about how bad the economy is. In their eyes, the economy is just fine since they can jack the prices up and make any excuses they want.

I noticed that the very last time the gas went down to $1.64 in california, the following week, MAJORITY of the gas station prices except for Costco and a few non-brands were reset to $1.79 And it was really fishy that no one really raise the flag when it happens...not even Congress

Gas will rise and drop like normal. The prices dropped because people were not buying gas/or driving as much. Thus ECON 101 Supply and Demand. We were not demanding it so they lowered prices for us to want to buy it again then once they get us hooked they raise the prices again.

For most people the $2.15 is alot cheaper than the $4 that they were paying almost 1 year ago so they wont make that big of a stink about it

I'll buy your supply and demand theory. Problem is no one is buying SUV's anymore. People have no jobs, I don't think people are driving as much. Hence I personally don't think demand has gone up. So what's the reason for the price creeping up slowly? Price of oil is down so that can't be it. I may be wrong but that's how I see it. SUV's are still sitting in dealer lots gathering dust. I think they are doing it so no one notices, and unfortunately the people that should notice, don't. Much easier to slowly ramp up the price. Because if they go from $2 to $3 in one weekend then people will complain. But if you do it a few cents a day...no one will notice. It's the Oil company's version of the Jedi Mind Trick.
