Oil prices are once again less than half what they were at their highest. Gas prices, however, are not following—the oil companies are pushing prices higher for their own profits. If all things were equal, Gas prices should be around $1.90 a gallon, but they’re still around 2.60. After the record profits big oil made in the last few years, they should be lower.
It seems it doesn’t make any difference what scumbag is in power in Washington, they’ll still let big business run wild. When is this country going to straighten out???
Does it really matter….they are just going to increase the tax on it anyway
