so full of BS Dr.Vlad

we have gone from under $2 to over $4

Oct. 16, 2008—Oil prices fall below $70 a barrel, which is less than half of its July peak. Signs of $1.99 a gallon gas brings celebration to the masses. Some consumers begin to talk about dragging out their gas guzzling SUV’s and Winnebago’s for the first time in months.

Nov. 3, 2008—U.S. Gas prices drop to $1.72 a gallon. Some gas stations even roll out a $.99 cent promotional deal. Treehuggers question whether the sudden drop is as good as most consumers seem to think it is.

Dec. 26, 2008—Gas prices tumble to $1.64 a gallon. Some areas seeing prices as low as $1.45 a gallon. Crude oil is just a little over $40 a barrel still.

Dec. 31, 2008—Crude oil prices plummet below $37 a barrel while the U.S. average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline falls to an amazing 5-year low of $1.61.

I mean, $1.61 to $4
That would be more than double, so your syntax, while meant differently, is technically correct

(thanks for imbedding, I tried)

I will start off that yes I am ignorant as to how the price at the pump is durived… but everything you hear is $XXX a barrel… Pump prices are $XXX So lets stick to that.

$70 a barrel = $1.72-1.99
$40 a barrel = $1.64
$37 a barrel = $1.61

that doesnt add up at all.

$37 a barrel = $1.61, yet a jump of $33 up to $70 a barrel only made the pump price rise $0.38 a gal at the pump? Or $0.0115 a gal at the pump for every $1 rise per barrel.

Oil today is $109 a barrel. So that is $39 more a barrel than the $70 = $1.99 example in 2008. So by that statistic them pump price should be only $0.449 more a gal than it was back in 2008, or $2.43 a gal.

Sooooo where is the other $1.52 per gal increase coming from??? because by my calculations to get to the price per gal we are VS the price per gal / per barrel it was 4 years ago… oil should be $202 a barrel right now!
