"Rat, the oil company C.E.O." "Gentlemen, raise the price of gas!" "Sir, we did that yesterday... We'll need a reason." "Conflict in the Middle East." "Sir, we used that Tuesday." "Instability in the region." "That was Monday." "Because we can." "I like it."
My favorite is when oil goes up 20% in the morning and by noon all of the gas stations have raised prices by 20%… but when it drops 20% the prices stay the same and they explain that “The oil in the pipelines, tankers, refineries, etc. has already been bought at the higher price so it will take a while for the prices at the pump to reflect the drop.”
