Since the price of a barrel has dropped by approx. $75, or 75%, why do we still pay between $4 -$6 for a quart of oil at our Dealers and auto parts stores. Gas should not be the only petroleum product that the price should drop significantly. Some how, the oil companies are still making very good profits, despite what we see on Wall Street.

Forget that!!!! What about the cost of roof shingles. When those prices skyrocketed it was blamed on the price of crude. They have not come down at all!
