In article <409@ccice6.UUCP>, rdz@ccice6.UUCP (Robert D. Zarcone) claims:
-->I'm sure we have all heard the reports about how OPEC is going down
-->the tubes and soon crude oil prices will be falling through the floor.
-->What I have observed here in Rochester (Western NYS) is that pump
-->prices for gasoline are actually INCREASING at the rate of about 1
-->cent every other week for the last month or so.  I can only assume
-->we will be handed the line, by "The Industry", that this is because
-->refineries are busy making home heating oil.  Has anyone noticed this
-->happening in other parts of the country?  Are prices going down anywhere?


In the Denver area (at least Southeast Denver), prices have fallen
on average 6-7 cents in the last 2 weeks.  The lowest I have seen
leaded regular is 92.9 cents, while Unleaded regular runs just a
but over a dollar. (Today I paid $1.019 cash for a tank full at
Amoco).  (That is for a gallon, not for a whole tank.)

The independents are maintaining a prices advantage of about
1-2 cents; not too much to be significant.
