Absolutely!

To get this back on topic (ignoring the flames and political crap from
the usual suspects)..........why don't pump prices drop when crude oil
barrel prices drop as fast as they increase when barrel prices rise?

Jim, I've always wondered about that type of speculation myself. crude
has speculators. But from what I understand, every base petroleum
product. from crude to mineral spirits has their own speculators on
stocks.
