The oil companies don't control the fuel prices. The fuel price is controlled by the people, businesses, funds, etc. that. invest in the comodity markets such as the NYMEX where crude oil, gasoline, heating oil, and other energy products are traded. The oil companies are just cashing in on a market that is high right now. They are making more money now just like I do when the corn and soybean markets are high. Prices are high because demand is high. Demand is high because there are more drviers and more automobiles than ever before. There are more trucks moving more products than ever before. We have an over zealous EPA that makes unrealistic regulation which hurt fuel mileage. We have a hugh airline industry that wastes millions of gallons of fuel. Air travel is the least fuel efficient form of transportation yet people think nothing of flying to save time. If you want fuel prices to come down ther are a few things you can do to help the situation. Drive a fuel efficient vehicle. Don't make unneccessary trips. DON'T FLY. Vote the people out of office who vote for overboard regulations. I'm not a big fan of the oil companies but they are just enjoying a market that is good for them right now.
