Default reset the industry

I agree that prices flux way too much for gasoline to be explained away by changes in oil prices. I think the way the market is structured has allowed gas prices to become a bellweather for the economoy. What other product is so easily repriced on a daily basis? Until our demand for oil is significantly reduced, we will be subject to such variations. Small, immediate decisions will also have a large cummulative effect: purchase from stations which consistently offer lower prices for your area; batch errands so you are making fewer trips; walk, ride your bike, carpool or use public transportation more!
