So, oil is down to about $64/barrel, and the last time it was
that price, gasoline was $3.25/gallon (U.S./U.S.gals) in Canada.
Now, it's still near $5. The oil companies are RAKING it in
as are the refiners.

Right now we could be swimming in crude oil and it wouldn't effect the
price, IMO. It is the lack of refining capacity and gasoline storage
space that is causing the high prices. The price won't fall appreciably
until we increase refining/storage capacity.

Actually, this morning's paper indicated that demand was indeed down
due to (a) how expensive it's getting and (b) efforts to curtail
energy usage.

Since I work from home I don't use much but my wife and I have made a
conscious effort to reduce our gas usage. She called our son last
weekend to ask what he was up to and he said "Nothing, because I can't
afford to drive anywhere". :)

Right now it's 2.99 generally in central ohio, 2.92 locally.
