The only thing that could have product prices drop when oil drops is true competition. However, since so many large companies absorbed/merged with their competition following the 2008-2010 financial crisis, consumer product prices did not drop with the drop in oil price. The sectors where there is &quot;competition&quot; (supposedly), the companies have become really good at working together to fix prices. Just look at airfare for example. Gas/oil is their 2nd largest (labor being slightly higher) and most volatile operating expense. Did you see significant, if any, decrease in airfare? No.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
