Kudo's to MrUnix. He's got the facts. Supply and demand have little to do with market prices and petroleum nowadays.big business has got us sheep figured out. Ever hear of "marketing psycology"? big business knows that people will scream bloody murder every time prices go up. Congress will "investigate", comentators will decry the injustice of it all. After a little while, people get tired of *******n about it and grudginly go along with it, the furor dies down, the sheep quit Baaaaing loudly, prices may even drop a little. Then, the cycle repeats itself again. I so well remember so many different cycles of this crap, and so should most of the board members here, if they try and think back. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.....(sorry for the cinisism).(and the spelling)
