I'm not entirely sure on this one, but I think that when a station has the old gas that they paid the $100 per barrel price on they will sell the gas at the corresponding gallon price at the pump. Some of the other stations may have already sold the $100 per barrel gas and now have a tank full of $90 per barrel gas in their tank, so they will be the ones with the cheaper gas. I could be wrong. This is just a guess. I actually haven't pumped gas in almost a year. I work from home and my husband handles putting gas in the car.

That's a good theory Rexsmom, thing is why does gas go up the next day when a barrel goes up,however when it goes down,as it is now under $90 it will take a couple of weeks before we see the change at the pump
The reason is simple the oil companies want to make as much money as they cam while they can.
What we need a strong Government that will force them to lower the price when they pay less for a barrel.
On more thing Meb452m your attitude of well think yourself lucky we pay less than them.
That is exactly the reason they can charge what they like

It's a little deeper than that ukusa,the best price posted in the land doesn't mean anything if there's nun to be had. Some of the commentary on Talk Radio suggests that barrel prices will continue to fall with gas prices following. Also gas in Georgia has averaged 20-25 cents per gallon cheaper until the last couple of years. The fact that now it averages an additional 20 cents or so higher suggests there are others with greater burdens to bare.
