but lets be fair here
look at high gas prices
the oil companies are independant companies operating in a free market
that means they can charge what ever they want
just like YOU can charge whatever you want on your websites
once katrina came along and knocked out all those refineries and drilling platforms
gas prices went thru the roof to around 3.25 a gallon because of the shortages
but the americian public paid it and demand didnt go down
sure they bitched and cryed but they paid it
now let me ask you a honest question
lets pretend your a oil company excutive
you know people will pay over 3 bucks a gallon for gas and even at that price they wont cut back much on their driving
how much would you charge for a gallon of gas
