Prices at the pump have started to ease a bit, although it seems to have nothing to do with any kind of reality regarding supply and demand, just more of the games in the commodity markets. But it seems that this time around, unlike last year, the traders haven't been able to force the markets to insane levels.
The year-to-date chart of crude oil price divided by gas price at the pump is settling down to a steadier number. Doesn't look like the doom merchants have a prayer of driving us crazy this summer!
