Ha, doesn't surprise me one bit. We're all getting robbed. Low supply? More $ to manufacture? Then why do these oil companies keep posting record profits?!?

Take the profit and double it. That is what the federal goverment is profiting from their tax on fuel. I'm not sure who to be mad at.

Be mad at those legislators that constrain US oil exploration and fuel production. Increasing demand plus constrained supply equals high prices. The alternative is rationing. Be glad prices are high enough to bring demand into line with supply. Anyone remember the 70's. There is something worse than high prices, it is NO FUEL.
