Gas Jumps DESPITE Lower Demand

From May 15th Chicago Tribune.

Photo of cars in front of a station in Chicago at Montrose and Western Avenues with regular at $4.41.9 and V-Power at $4.63.9.

Chicago was the highest in the nation back then. Nationally, gas had risen to $3.76 a gallon. It was $3.92 in Fox Lake.

The price of a barrel of oil had also fallen. But, the cost of gas went up. Gas prices were 67 cents higher than last year.

How come every time the cost of a barrel of oil goes up, we see it reflected at the pump in a matter of hours. But let it go down, you won't see that anytime soon.

These exorbitant gas prices have CUT DEMAND, BUT THAT HAS LITTLE IMPACT ON PRICES.
