What's up with gas prices?

[TriSec]

I drive by a multitude of gas stations on my brief, 4-mile commute.

This past 10 days or so, I've noticed something curious...the price of self-serve regular has dropped by almost a dime, from $2.99 to $2.91 in recent days.

But the price of the mid-grade gas has remained flat, at $3.05 for about the past 3 weeks.

I wonder why that is?

I do ride my bike in the good weather, I've got a bike trail that goes virtually door-to-door. But I am in Boston, and it's rained most of the past 5 weeks or so. yeesh.

1. Oil dropped to under $70/bl today - yet gas prices are not back to $2.59/g

Something's not right...

3. DAMN hard to save gas in New England by riding a bike lately,

isn't it? Christ, I think they've moved us all to Seattle while we weren't looking.

4. Conspiracy maybe. Tin foil time.....

Supermarkets et al trying to attract affluent customers are putting high performance fuel in the midgrade pumps as to not harm the engines of new SUVS if their coveted customers try to economize. They figure harming engines of used cars is no big deal. It'd be hard to detect that the gasoline did it.:tinfoilhat:
