RE: Oil prices fell below $97 a barrel on Monday after Hurricane Ike inflicted minimal damage!

Framerguy (9/15/2008)It is my opinion that the imbalance in oil going up and down and the retail not following suite is that the buying public isn't reflecting these higher prices in reduced purchases of gasoline! If the public is buying gasin the same quantity at $4.00/gal. as they did at $3.00/gal. the oil industry is gonna take the extra money and smile all the way to the bank!!
It doesn't do a whit's worth of good to bitch about higher prices if the buying public isn't willing to back off buying gas until it touches the pockets of the retailers which in turn will trickle back down the chain to the oil refiners. But that means enduring a bit of inconvenience once in awhile or putting off those little trips to Walley World or a restaurant or movies and stay at home more than usual.
It seems that we want things to go our way but we aren't willing to put forth any personal effort to get them the way we want them. Complaining about it sure doesn't seem like the solution to the problem to me.
