How is the price of oil reflected in the price of gas?

There is a pretty good piece on MSNBC that explains how gas prices are set. It is written in a "FAQ" format and does quite a good job of breaking this down for the layperson. I think some of the material may have actually creeped into a report on Friday's NBC Nightly News (link to netcast-not sure if it works). Ultimately, the price of gas prices is set by the price of crude oil on the futures market, which (I believe) is out of the hands of grandstanding politicians. If this much gets through to the public, I'd say we've made progress. The problem however, is that, in the eyes of the public, we've just replace one mystery (gas prices), with another (crude oil prices). The fact is that the futures markets is opaque. Sure, financial news services come up with narratives about why the futures do what they do, but they never really cite any evidence for them. Does anyone, even the wise readers of the The Oil Drum, really know the true reasons why crude oil prices are high? Is it because the supply of crude oil is diminishing? Anxiety over Iran and Nigeria? Mere speculation by investors? Chances are that it's all of these things. Investors do things for all kinds of reasons, and they certainly don't act as a monolithic block.


Why is gas price high when barrel of oil is down?

I have included several links, which show an inexact relationship between gasoline price and oil price. There are other variables like crude oil inventories at play, so an exact relationship does not exist. If the data is smoothed over a 4 week period, a linear relationship presents itself. See related links.

What is the meaning of crack in Oil industry?

In the oil industry, "crack" refers to the process of breaking down crude oil into its various components, primarily through a method called cracking. This process involves heating the crude oil and breaking its long hydrocarbon chains into shorter, more valuable products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. The term also commonly relates to the "crack spread," which is the financial metric used to assess the profitability of refining crude oil into these products, reflecting the price difference between crude oil and refined products.
