Big drop at the pump today, here in Vancouver.

Down to 140.7 cents per litre-- which works out to a mere $5.33 per gallon.

That's right: FIVE DOLLARS and THIRTY-THREE CENTS. Per. Gallon.

Gas is way behind the oil drop.
Still $3.90+ should be about $2.50 to 2.80 for reg.
In Calif. thats how they roll.

Oil has been down more than $25 for over a month. Gas is FINALLY following? Oil goes up 1/4 of a cent, and gas jumps $.40 cents.

What gives?
