Oil below $86 as US refineries survive hurricane

When we will feel the price at the pompe? Dhhhhhhh

Thank god! Otherwise Obama would have another BS excuse about the luck he's had over the last 3 years. The guy just can't accept blame for anything. It's everybody and everything elses fault for how bad everything is. I guess he didn't contribute anything to this mess. Just keep spending, and printing more fake dollars.

Why is it that when the price of a barrel of oil goes up, prices for gas immediately go up.. However, when the prices for the barrels go down, it takes forever or if ever for the price of gas to go down... Sad that these oil company can manipulate prices the way they do.

Someone needs to update the page!!!! Oil has been over $87/barrel for more than 3 hours!!!! Yahoo....get your act together!!!!

These gas lords always look for some excuse to raise the price, when anything happens locally (in US) or International (Outside US).

We must demand Politicians to get rid off Ethanol in gas, make public transport better, make laws for car Industries to make fuel efficient.

This will save alot for consumers and US budget (Subsidized money of $6 Billion/year) , But will not please the politicians owned or Ethanol Farmers and Industries.

Investors had grave doubts that the refineries along the gulf coast could survive this devastating killer storm churning its deathly way up the Atlantic seaboard thus driving up oil prices. East coast refineries weren't a factor in their calculations. Prices should rebound in a month or so however the federal government has created a new tax on gasoline that fluctuates with the price of gasoline so that it is never less than $3.40 a gallon in order to help subsidize the War on Something. The War on Something is an often overlooked component of the president's overall strategy against something which is threatening the citizens of the US in some kind of obscure way. Congress has pledged its full support to fight Something as lobbyists line up to promote their interests in Something or Another. While there is no direct War on Another, it is rumored to have a secret black budget with no direct oversight by anybody in particular. Inexplicably while incomes of most Americans has decreased, those politicians and corporate interests involved with Something or Another have garnered great wealth even though the paper trail of such wealth appears somewhat murky. But who cares, that's the reason they went into public service in the first place. So that the public could service them.

f

if oil is selling at 86$ a barrel why is gas not selling for 3$ a gallon at the pump ? one
other ? if oil prices are on the way down why in the metro Milwaukee are prices going up a couple
of cent's every other day

Oil prices drop $30 a barrel and we see a one cent reduction in gasoline prices at the pump. Oil goes up 15 cents and the pump price goes up 30 cents. Yeah, I get it.

Give them a bushel of food for a barrel of oil. Americans could walk or ride a bike if they had to. I have seen people do it year around. But I would like to see the oil producers drink their oil or gasoline if they had too !

Must have something to do (secretly) with the politicians as the oil companies are acting just like the politicians.

But gas is still figured like its $130 a barrel.
Friggin crooks.

Scumbags were hoping it would have a huge effect. Now they have to hope for another hurricane, or a little earth tremor, that Californians laughed their a$$ of about our huge overblown by the news earthquake!

I'm so glad the the storm didn't interrupt the oil companies from making their profits. Love it when they blame everything under the sun as to why prices go up. Still would like to know why prices are a dollar higher now than last year. Guess speculators and oil companies want a healthy profit to protect them from the government? No wait, the government is on the deal too. Never mind.

But yet again we got screwed at the pumps just in case there was any damage. Congress needs to pass a law that if you speculate on oil or gas then you have to take physical delivery of it. This will put an end to Wall Street playing their games whenever they feel like it.Oil and gas are to vital to our economy to be allowing the Wall Street crooks to be making fortunes off of while we pay for it.

BP,Shell, Murpy, and other oil companies that dont use middle eastern oil are the companies I wonder about. they drill off US shores have their refineries on US soil and let the middle east dictate prices why they dont break away I can only guess. It was said a hero never calculates the cost, thats why we will never have a hero come out of the corporate world, they only calculate the profits.

so why am I still paying 4 dollars a gallon? They say when the prices go down it takes a month to show up in the pump, so why is it that when the prices go up it show up immediately in the pump??? As Holes

Quick to raise prices, Slow to lower them.

its everyone's fault here, idiots drive like gas is a $1.00 a gallon, truth hurts I know, slow down and conserve or quit crying about the prices... one way to fight back,I know, let the other guy slow down cause where "YOU" have to go is sooo important...you people are all mouth and no action!!

Gas companys stick it in americans ass.
