Oil profits a frequent target, but they're hardly out of line

Can anyone here think of any other industry that changes retail prices twice a day, with all the prices coming out within one cent?

Hmmmmm. What was the definiion of "cartel" again?

When you are only making 3 cents on each dollar of product sold the industry has to move with the cost of oil.

Is it possible that progressives know nothing about business?

So you don't know the definition of cartel?

Avoiding the real question and answer I see. Must be a progressive thing.

Avoiding a simple definition. Must be an ignorant thing.

That's a load of crap, Berton.

All you have to do is watch oil and gas prices for a month or two - when oil goes up, the price of gas goes up immediately.

When oil comes down, it takes days before the price of gas falls, and when it does, it does so a few pennies a day.

And ALL THE OIL COMPANIES DO IT AT THE SAME TIME, AT THE SAME RATE.

So far not one progressive has been able to factually refute the OP. Must be a progressive thing.
