Calm down Turbo. I know you were joking. It does take a while for the trend to reach here. I think in part businesses charge that for longer because they know that they can. When the calls come in to change the prices they do not immediately go and do it on the pumps and signs. I've witnessed this a number of times. One service station worker told my mother that the call had came in to drop the price at the pumps but she just hadn't went out and changed it yet AS my mother was paying for her gas. Smart, huh?


And Bush was more to blame than Obama. Bush profited directly from it. I don't blame Bush for everything because not everything is under a President's control but when you are obviously directly involved with the business.... I don't think that he set the prices of crude oil or gasoline but he did profit from it.
