Has everyone else noticed that -- when unrefined/raw crude oil barrel- prices increase, there is a near-INSTANT increase in retail pump- prices for the finished, refined product ... but when crude-oil barrel-prices decrease ... gee gollie gosh ... it seems to take WEEKS for the retail prices to similarly subside.

That's called "free enterprise" and "marketplace competition" ... cartel-style!
