BF2S Forums Now that Oil is under $100/barrel, how much of a stimulus will it be?

Im buying more food thats a +1, but you're right i think $70 is +100

i like it high.

earth > petrol prices

adapt you lazy twats

the math is simple, for every $20.00 crude drops the gas will go down 2 cents at the pump... i cant believe you didn't know that

They pass on cost increases to the consumer in a heartbeat, but not so much the other way.

I just paid $3.47/gallon...the price dropped about $0.50/gallon here in the past month.

Someone once told me that oil barrel prices are often displayed in terms of futures. Basically, you don't get cheaper gas at the pumps until a few weeks after oil goes under 100 a barrel. Give it time, didn't it only go under a few days ago?

I just filled for 3.27

that someone is wrong

I remember 0.27 a gallon.

My town has some of the highest gas prices in the country, and gas is 3.96 at one place. a block up the street it's 3.87, and a block up from there it's 3.84. There's another one two blocks from that one and it's 3.89.

The first one is an Exxon and it gets the most customers. Also those are the only four gas stations in my town and they are all on one street, and my town has moar people in it than the one that Palin used to mayor.

None, as prices are still ~$3.50 a gallon. Fuckers.

when it went to 145 a barrel that was like a 70% increase but they only increased the gas prices 45% so you cant expect it to go down as much as crude oil is because there paying off what they lost from not totally fucking us over.

Actually they raised fuel prices on the Airlines to like $7/gallon.  Basically they saw that they could raise prices on Airlines more and get away with it instead of passing all the costs evenly to Joe-six-pack.
