While COVID has dominated the headlines for the last 15 months, the oil industry has continued to operate in the shadows, manipulating its supply in order to prop up prices. Looks like someone has turned the tables with a ransomware attack on a pipeline. What else is going on? Get your copy of turmOIL now!
Why do gas pump prices go up immediately when the price per barrel of oil goes up? Gasoline in transit from the refinery to the consumer was extracted as oil at the well head and sold at a different price per barrel than today’s spot rate for oil. Gasoline already in the storage tanks at gas stations or distribution centers was extracted as oil at the well head even earlier. If the well head was directly connected to the gas station or distribution center, one could understand this price transference as there would be no way to discern today’s product from yesterday’s extraction, but that is not the case.
