Oil now down over 20 bucks from its high. Wonder why we don't see that at the pump? Meh... I'm sure it's Biden's fault right?

Prices consumers pay don't jump/fall instantaneously when there's a change in what distributors/mfrs pay. In my industry for example, it can be several weeks to a month before we see our costs change.

And yet as soon as oil goes up the gas prices go up

The price at the corner station has kept steady for 4 days now. Compared to its jumping up everyday we are seeing the benefits of the lowered price in some ways

Agreed.

It was good to finally do a fill-up that was not appreciably higher than the previous week.

It will be even better to do a fill-up less that the previous week!

Not going up is a good thing.

prices will probably not going to come down for most so called inflation based prices, becuase the greedy scumbags corporations are making record profits and they own so much.

To whom? We certainly didn't see them raised instantly in our area.
You should consider yourself lucky in my area we saw them jump as high as 30 cents in a days time and almost a dollar over two weeks

No, Putin is to blame or perhaps Trump. right
Always fun to throw rich sarcasm at a con and watch them choke on their failure of a whataboutism retort.
