I also think it's at least partly an artificial problem the Oil companies are creating to drive up their profits.

Let's face it, when was the last time you went to a gas station to find a "out of gas today" sign?? There is plenty of gas out there.

That's exactly the problem! It's not a lack of crude, (but available oil is running out, don't waste it, please)
the current high price is lack of refining capacity.
AND a lack of government enforcement of 'gouging' laws.
Exxon begs the government for relief of "market constraints" that restrict their business and yet their after tax profits were up 44% last year.

B to the S... I can elaborate when sober, but the economics of gasoline are WAY more than anyone has even began to touch on in this thread...

Oh and always keep in the back of your mind, 12 oz of starbucks bean flavored water is $3.00...
