Back in 2008 oil damn near hit $148 a barrel and gas was around 4 bucks.
Now oil is way lower and somehow we’re still paying more at the pump.
You can throw out all the excuses you want, but regular people know when something smells fishy.
Something ain’t right.

Oil cos. don't set price. That's the job of commodity mkts. Similarly gas (RBOB) prices set by commodity mkts.
On LI (NY) we generally pay 70 to 80 cents over spot price of front month contract. That differs by state based on taxes & other local factors.
