I'm not saying they don't equate, I'm saying they don't need to correlate. It could be $10/barrel and $10/gallon at the pump if they thought they could make more money that way.

Now, part of the reason it somewhat correlates is that they try to keep public opinion from becoming negatively directly towards them too much.
