Crude Down. Gas Prices Up? Part 2

I've been getting a fair number of comments on my post from January 23rd, where I attempted to respond to the perception that gasoline prices had not dropped enough in relation to dropping crude oil prices.   Now, rather than wade in on each comment, I decided to watch the stream of comments to see where it would go.  Even after a year and a half, I'm still trying to figure out when it's right for me to respond and when to just let people talk.  Now I see some feel no one is paying attention, which wasn't my intent.  So Anita, Sophia, Jim and the others (especially you Cliff), let me provide further detail.

If you like it - pass it on.      

Why I like the Gas Man (kind of)

No I haven't lost my mind.  A little while ago, the Toronto Star ran a feature on the Gas Man himself - Dan McTeague and quoted me as saying "I'll probably take some flak for this at the office...but I kind of like the guy".  My prediction came true.  I did take some flak. So why was I saying nice things about the guy I had spent the better part of 9 years debating on radio, tv and in newspapers?  No, I hadn't spent the day sitting in a warm room blowing up air mattresses without a pump.  And no, I don't agree with him.    Allow me to share...
