Ok all you 'supply and demand' people. Explain how the demand has in no way gone down, and supply hasn't had a chance to go up, yet the price is not moving and going down in some places.
Because its NOT a supply and demand problem, the prices are purely a product of price manipulation and speculation.
so stfu about supply and demand

demand is flat. demand will decrease once china stops subsidizing fuel costs if that ever happens.

Ok - let's say you are demanding cock. There is lots of it out there. You are getting your cock really cheap. Now, let's say you introduce Ender and his herpes into the scene. Now, you have clean cock and **** ass scab cock out there. What happens? the price of cock goes up. So, right now - you are having a hard time getting cock. The solution? Flood the market with more dicks. Just ****ing suck it suck it suck it.

less than a month ago we were watching 2-3 cent climbs a day. demand hasn't flattened out that much in that short of time.

maybe that was in reaction to a previous spike in demand or something. maybe demand has been level for a while now, and it just took a while for the ripples to hit the edge of the pond.
Supply, demand, prices, wages, interest rates, and spending changes don't happen immediately. There is usually a time lag while people adjust or write new contracts.

Have you people not read the news how the US broke records at decreasing consumption this year? The high speculated prices killed demand in India because they had to just recently stop subsidizing because of the high prices.

I'm unsure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me.

yeah, let me question a basic principle that has stood for thousands years based on 2 months of irregularities.
Sometimes I think you're trolling, and other times I just think you're really stupid.

That’s what makes speculators a perfect target: by going after them, Congress can demonstrate to voters that it understands their pain, and at the same time avoid doing anything that might require real sacrifice from Americans. Our dependence on foreign oil, together with the fiscal fecklessness that has helped reduce the value of the dollar, means that there is no easy way out of where we are. But in an election year that’s hardly a message that anyone in Washington is going to deliver.

Don't prices usually go up at the start of summer and then stat going down towards the end of summer? I swear it seems like it's done that every year.

yes but maybe prices are high enough to dampen the traditional summer vacations. I've heard (anecdotally) of people taking less vacation and staying closer to home.
And also there was something about jet planes flying slightly slower and saving bunches of gas...
