This man is the real deal. Not only is he a magnificent teacher and visionary, he possesses a magical personality that is vibrant and upbeat, laced with a self-deprecating sense of humor and moral honesty, and that puts life and our human shortcomings in perspective. Even though I am not a practicing Catholic, I've often thought he is destined to become a great moral leader. Good luck, Cal. The consumer is being misled by your headlines on the highest crude prices when current barrel prices are high for the winter heating oil high-use cycle.
Gasoline has similar cyclical spikes in the summer, when vacationers are on the road.
You confuse your reading public into believing that rising prices may be justified and invite the oil companies into raising prices that are not relative to Hawaii. At the wholesale level, the data reflect that my supplier discounted diesel to other customers but not to me. And I am being told that the information is incorrect. In my 12 years in this industry keeping track of pricing at all levels of trade, I have found the common denominator is that Chevron will move its price and the rest of the oil companies will follow immediately if the price movement is an increase, but if the pricing is a decrease, then the rest of the pack takes their time in passing along the savings. Chevron is a community leader and the market leader.
