Totally Got Worse; Oil Prices Plummet

Ok so first things first, last night I said my throat started getting pretty sore... well today I'm pretty much miserable. :-( It got worse and my toxic snot that feels like hot lava is burning my throat! This really sucks. I'm trying my hardest not to call outta work cuz this week is really important. Anyway, I barely made it through today.

Now to oil/gas prices... I'm all types of confused lol. Oil PLUMMETED today to $94.21 a barrel. That's the first time oil has been below $100 since March. The market price for gas also plummeted $.22 to $2.58 a gallon. Now here is where I get all confused. You would think that because of all of this gas prices at the pump would plummet too right? WRONG! Let me put things in perspective before I go on. The last time oil was just below $100 a barrel, gas at the pump was in the $2.90s. Today, gas is at $3.68 - $3.77! What's up with that!? And furthermore, we have about a $.40 gas tax here in Maryland, so our prices really should be in the $2.90s like they used to be when market gas price and oil were this low! So I'm a bit ticked about this and confused.
