gas prices will never go down because they don't have to. why would any company volunteer to reduce profits? if anything they are taking measures to increase their profits and the profits of the auto manufacturers by mixing in lower cost additives(10-15% ethanol) to occupy volume in the tank instead of actual gas.
these additives reduce fuel economy, decrease engine life, but save 1/100th of a tree every 50 fill ups or so. lol
it also doesn't matter what gas station you get your gas from sinc ethere are only 4 actual refinary companies in the US that all the major fuel corporations from all over the world contract through.
just keep an eye out for those green and pink trucks that say valero on the side, notice they stop at BP, Mobil, Exxon, and every other station they go past.
