When people really started to complain and congress started to investagate, suddenly the price of gas started droping, duh
ronnie, I think you need to get a grip. The government does not set fuel prices. Diesel prices are up for a number of reasons including world demand, heating oil deman and other factors.

If it is discovered that the oil companies are violating anti-trust laws you can bet that they will be prosecuted. Nothing would win more support for a politician right now than catching the oil companies in a price fixing game.

We have rocked along for over 20 years with fuel prices staying relatively steady. They have finally caught up with us, and adjusted for inflation still are not at an all time high. You could always move to Europe or most other parts of the world where they pay $6 to $8 a gallon.

Consider yourself lucky that our fuel prices are as low as they are and stop trying to find someone to blame for it.

Have a great day,
