Hilo gas prices continue to fall

[Bob Orts]

As we look at gasoline prices, it seems people expect that when crude prices drop, gasoline prices should have dropped as fast and as low. That's fine with the exception that when crude prices rose as high as they did, gasoline prices DID NOT RISE at the same rate and as fast as crude prices. Did anyone send a Thank You box of chocolate to the oil companies? Did anyone call their elected representative demanding an investigation into why oil companies DID NOT raise prices as high as they should have? Who wrote a letter to the editor about some secret conspiracy of the oil companies to not charge the true high cost of gasoline? [V]
