It’s the producers of crude that are screwing with us. It’s gone from $125 a barrel down to around $103 a barrel in four weeks. Finished products such as gasoline and #2 heat follow suit.
In California during the 1960s, early 1970’s price of regular was usually 29 cents a gallon, except when stations would have “gas wars” and drive the price as low as 19 cents a gallon, until they realized they were losing money selling it that cheap, in spite of more customers filing up at that station.
Same here, my job is too active as a rule to fall asleep during it.
