The problem is not only the oil company's but the gas stations too
today oil is at 72.00 a barrel but that is Octobers crude prices the owners of these gas stations are watching this and increasing prices accordingly Junes crude prices were 35.00 dollars a barrel which would have made the prices 1.45 a gallon that's what we should be paying right now at the pump the gas stations themselves are ripping us off as much as the oil company's if every one in this country stays home for 3 days don't go to work or drive anywhere it would cost the oil company's billions in lost revenue, and all the company's would be bitching so bad at the government because all of their workers are not showing up for work due to the gas prices, that the government would have to take action against the oil company's and force them to lower the prices and put a cap on them and then get rid of the speculators who are driving the oil up out of greed , get rid of them and the lobbyist and put strict rules on wall street and our country will work again
