>>>Why is it that as soon as the price of oil goes up, it goes up at the pump immediately, supposedly because they forecast what it will cost them to replenish their stocks. But, when it goes down, as it did today, prices don't go down immediately as well since replenishing their stocks will cost less?

We do have some of our own energy (30% of our oil usage is our own and keep in mind we have other sources of energy - just NOT enough), but the amount of energy we produce and use ourselves is probably enough to supply some of Europe...

Okay , u/stood; You buy in bulk and get 120% discount {g}

Any link that support that discount theory?
