WERE headed? How about consumers pay a price for what the crude oil price is at the MOMENT, NOT where they MIGHT be headed. Same as the minute the oil prices go up, gas prices immediately go up. NOT the same when oil prices FALL - it could be many days before we reap the benefit of THAT! [Edited by: Fire_n_Ice at 7/7/2012 7:40:45 PM EST]
