markell/mardigras: Consider gas like 12k gold and Engine oil like 18k gold. Which one would be harder hit by shifts in market value?

I agree that while the demand for one is much higher than the other the fact is that the other should also shift in price..

I wonder what the markup is on the oil. If the cost of crude oil rose so much that to produce that every single unit of engine oil cost 15% more to produce, such as gasand the daily changes, why isnt that reflected?

How much has the pricing of gas changed in the last few years? do you think engine oil kept pace?
