In Lexington, Ky it is at 2.56 at most pumps and a few cents lower at some. You have to remember that profits and company agendas, government taxes and all sorts of matters come before the consumers. IMO -- At 4.00 a gallon fuel was still bought. The amount of fuel bought may not have been quite enough, but I don't think the demand dropped enough to bother the oil companies. Now at 3.50 a gallon everyone will up the fuel consumption again because they think it's cheap.
