Gee, what's ol' Captain Actionable (Atman) have to say about this one? Just a
few hours ago, he said that gas was going down despite
rising oil prices. It turns out that oil has been going down since around when Bush rescinded the executive ban on offshore drilling. That and the strengthening dollar is contributing a lot. Gas prices started plummeting a week later. Oil prices have been going down despite Russia's shenanigans. Yes, the oil price did go up yesterday (I thought it may have been because of Russia and Poland, but it could be that some people thought it was a good buying opportunity), but that was completely cancelled out today.
