12. Oh, so we can expect prices at the pump to drop today.

Oh, wait. Increasing international tension results in instant price increases.

Lessening of tensions, however, does not lower prices overnight because every extra day that people get jacked at the pump is a day of pure profit for the industry (except of course for the station owners, who get virtually nothing).

Let's see how many weeks, months or years it takes for this good news to be reflected on the sign, eh?
