I agree, its all about greed. Toi me greed is state and federal government taxes on a gallon of fuel being more than we paid for the whole danged gallon 20 years ago. They confiscate more than the "greedy" oil companies do, and they don"t even have to be accountable to stockholders (tax payers). Yes, would say that greed pervades the oil industry. Hell, every government official and his brother has his hands in the till except the President. And he made his money in the oil business. If it cost as much to produce a bottle of water that we are more than willing to pay $1.00 per litre for as it dies to produce a gallon of gasolene, perhaps we might become as outraged over the price of water as we do gas, but the brutal fact is that everyone is more than willing to allow the water bottle company to make a disgusting profit and not even question his profit picture while railing unmercifully on the oil companies as being thieves. Looks to me the wrong people are being called thieves. We have E-85 bio fuel here too, but have you tried burning it in the winter time and dealing with its gelling problem? It aint the be all, end all as some would suggest. This is comming from a guy who would welcome a booming market in soybeans.
