Re: Fuel prices - What's coming out of YOUR wallet?
 

The two are directly related, go to something like Gasbuddy.com and you
can pull up a chart showing gas prices and oil prices superimposed on
each other, and they track almost perfectly.

That is virtually ALWAYS the case, a big exception was last year after
Katrina when gasoline production and distribution was disrupted, gas
prices went up much more than oil did but as the damage was repaired
prices came back into line.
