Dear BOC, As much as you would like to blame the current administration on the "high oil prices", world market conditions, high demand and a growing economy are all combining to drive the pricing conditions we see today. Gary in TX is also right on the money in pointing out that local laws passed in California and other states have created the need for unique gasoline formulae for refineries to contend with, not to mention transportation and distribution impacts. Before you start blaming our president and vice president, you should learn a little about US & global economics.

For those of us in any kind of business, rising prices are a fact of life, as are wages, insurance and other costs.
