Can someone please explain to me why, when the cost of a barrel of oil goes up a dollar or two, the price at the pump jumps $.20 in a matter of hours, but when the price of crude oil goes down a dollar or two, it takes weeks to see a significant change at the pump. Why is this not considered price gouging?! Where is our goverment during all of this? It infuriates me!!

Okay...rant over.
