Oil futures price is negative, but regular gas is $1.99. What is wrong with this picture?

A plain agreement among competitors to fix prices is almost always illegal, whether prices are fixed at a minimum, maximum, or within some range. Illegal price fixing occurs whenever two or more competitors agree to take actions that have the effect of raising, lowering or stabilizing the price of any product or service without any legitimate justification. Price-fixing schemes are often worked out in secret and can be hard to uncover, but an agreement can be discovered from "circumstantial" evidence. For example, if direct competitors have a pattern of unexplained identical contract terms or price behavior together with other factors (such as the lack of legitimate business explanation), unlawful price fixing may be the reason. Invitations to coordinate prices also can raise concerns, as when one competitor announces publicly that it is willing to end a price war if its rival is willing to do the same, and the terms are so specific that competitors may view this as an offer to set prices jointly.
This is just an FYI.

Can you itemize $1.99?
x(1)+...+x(N)=$1.99
Where x(i) are refining, distributing, gas station, etc.

0.184+0.38+0.44+0.10+0.26+0.24=1.604
1.604<>1.99
Costco gas is $1.69, which is close to $1.604 estimate.

Yes, if we call Indian owned gas stations ripping of their customers business as usual. I don't believe claims they are making less than 10 cents per gallon.

2.00 за простой бензин.
И это при state tax в три раза ниже твоего.
То есть, тебя-то, может, и не кидают.
А меня - точно кидают.
