Same with oil. The refiners are making windfall profits. The future price of a barrel of crude goes up on a the market at noon, by two the price of fuel at the pump has gone up. We the consumers are hostage to the monopoly so we pay up. The price of fuel goes to $2.50 then drops to $2.30 and we think we are getting a bargain. Then the price of fuel goes to $2.70 and drops to $2.50 and again we think we are getting a deal. The actual cost of the fuel we are using now was probably $40 a barrel. Eventually, this should bring about inflation or the perception of inflation, causing interest rates to rise. Which will depress the economy even further. Enough doom and gloom.
