There is no logical answer to this question. Gas at my local Arco was $1.55 when oil was $45 a barrel. Now oil is $36.00 a barrel and gas has risen to $1.99. This is a clear case of price fixing and manipulation. The oil companies are hoping we are so happy with sub $4.00 gas that we wont notice the sneaky ratching up the the price when it should be falling. Based on my calculations gas should now be $1.24 a gallon or 34.45% of the price of a barrel of oil.

During Ronald Reagan's presidency, gas and oil prices experienced significant fluctuations. Initially, prices were high in the early 1980s due to factors like the Iranian Revolution and the subsequent oil crisis. However, by the mid to late 1980s, prices began to decline significantly, influenced by increased oil production, particularly from OPEC members, and a global decrease in demand. Overall, while there were periods of rising prices, the latter part of Reagan's presidency saw a notable decrease in gas and oil prices.
