Default Good news for boaters? Oil prices headed down?

Throughout nearly every major market in my home state, retail prices
for refined products were off a fraction of a cent or so on Monday
when compared to the previous day.

By the way, this is an interesting site. You can look up your own
state and track fuel pricing. On the home page of the fuel gauge
report there's a chart tracking the retail and wholesale prices of
refined products, as well as the cost of a bbl of oil at the wellhead.
There are fairly parallel lines in the retail and wholesale prices,
(although the fact that the margin between retail and wholesale is
currently below recent averages tends to dampen any optimism fostered
by a partial cent drop in retail pricing). Looking at the very flat
line on the bottom of the chart, it's easy to visualize that the price
of crude oil has next to zero effect on the price of refined products.


Lucky you.

Including yesterdays increase here in Central Florida, the price is up about
$0.10 in the past week.
