Ohio gasoline is higher than the National average. Refinery down in Indiana I suppose.

3.25 it was 3.45 about 3 weeks ago.

Crude falling hard right now. $40.96, down 3.89%

Yet the "unexpected repairs" to a refinery are keeping local gas prices rather elevated. I think they did drop about .05 overnight. Still a long way away from where they should be.

Conveniently the "partial shutdown" of the refinery will take approximately 2 months to repair. As in, the rest of the summer\driving season.

Should be, eh? Based on what?

The previous low in oil\gas prices compared to now. And considering they are out there stating the refinery issue is jacking up prices, the should be is rather supported.

Do you have a specific date in mind?

You're right, Donger...oil is at a 6+ year low and gas prices are no where near close to the lowest price of the year.....

that's sound logic you present

So, you are talking about this year only, correct?

It looks like crude will get to $40 or very close to it today. Now at $40.19 down 2.73%

It just broke through $40

meanwhile gas prices aren't dropping because oh yeah..the "unexpected repairs" at a refinery...in fact I think they may have gone up overnight...

According to this site: http://gascalc.appspot.com/ when crude is at $40 a barrel, the price at the pump should be about $1.31 a gallon.

Here is the Austin area we are about a dollar more than that currently. :shrug:
