So when all was said and done on Friday, the price of oil had risen by a mind-numbing $10.75 a barrel -- which makes me wonder ...

Isn't it fair to expect that the price of gasoline will not rise as a result? I mean, after all, when the price of oil fell by $13 a barrel between late May and this past Wednesday, the price at the pump didn't go down even a penny. So, naturally, there's no reason to expect any spike at the pump now.

Yeah, right.
