I am wondering if there are any math experts out there who can figure out the formula for the cost of gas at the pump. For years the “Big Oil” companies have led us to believe that the price we pay for gas is directly related to the price of oil. So here is the big question: If oil at $100 a barrel equals $4 at the pump, and oil at $45 per barrel equals less than $2 at the pump, then how does oil at less than $60 per barrel equal over $3 at the pump?
If your son or daughter figures out the formula they are more than likely a candidate for an Ivy League School. And by the way, the “Big Oil companies being thieves” can’t be their answer as that is already a known fact.
