Looks like prices should take a drop. Oil prices have tanked these past few days

Surprising if you ask me... I figured demand would go up after the Japan earthquake.

Oil demand will drop in Japan for a while during this cleanup process until they can get all their industries back up and running, and the overall world markets dipped a little lately.  That has caused the recent drop in oil prices.

It takes about a week to a week and a half for gas prices to reflect the change in oil prices.

Egypt is okay. It's Libya you should focus on.

You know I was thinking the same thing. Patricks explanation does make sense :yes:

Well in Egypt its whenever the military decides to hand control over to some civilian government. In Libya it will end when Gaddafi finishes killing all of the protesters. :/ Not a very promising situation. Libya should really be a lesson to countries thinking of a revolution. Not all revolutions will end well.

Japan is the third biggest economy in the world.  Take out a country who certainly uses a lot of oil, and you get this reaction.  However, Pop Light Brown is right about the lag between oil prices and the cost of gasoline.

Anyway, gasoline was $3.45 per gallon before I left for my trip.
