I'm pretty much convinced that they charge whatever they want to, whenever they want to. Oil is at an all time low and we're still paying a couple of bucks a gallon and feeling like it's "cheap"

I remember just a few years ago when everybody was up in arms when it went to one dollar a gallon. They're playing us like fiddles if you ask me. Shoot it up and see how far they can go on price. Then whenever we start to use less they drop it back...but never where it was before.

That way it keeps inching up in price.

On a related note I saw that OPEC is cutting production to try and raise oil prices because it's so low right now that they are hurting from it. I'm pretty sure the oil companies are the only ones making bank.
