It IS a big rip-off... Oil companies are making record profits and getting benefits from our government in everything from lax regulations to tax breaks. The price per barrel goes up and overnight we pay more at the pump, the price per barrel goes down and after a month or so we pay a couple pennies less. They jack it up, jack it up jack it up and then when we start to complain too much it slides back down just a bit, stays at that level for a while then they start over. Each time we settle in at a higher price. The big oil companies also help control the media, nothing like the nightly news blabbing about prices going up to get every station in the area to jump in and raise their prices. Wish I could do that with my customers....and don"t even try to compare what we pay to what some other countries pay, it is like comparing what you pay for a pack of crackers at the campground store to what you can buy a case of them for at a Costco. sorry to rant but my fuel bill to get me from jobsite to jobsite is killing me, and NO I don"t drive a 4D full-size 4X4 Wish I could afford one though!! :-)
