It's what you call business, as long as there will be enough people to keep paying for it at a certain price and continue to purchase it as the price goes up they can keep raising it until they start to see the percentage of users go down.

You have two options:

1. Pay it.

2. Stop driving.

Pump isn't just what the gas comes from; it's what the oil companies are doing to us as we bend over.

You folks don't seem to understand gas prices. American oil companies have a very low margin on them and very little control over the price of crude.

Actually quite true. There are far greater causes of the oil spike than greed at Exxon Mobil, etc.

Well aren't the high prices due to the oil speculators. They could buy it but they don't. And when they need it the prices are sky high. I actually heard there is more surplus oil in this country now with prices so high than there was when gas was down at $1.90 a gallon.

In part to the speculators, who are driven by unrest in the Middle East.

There has been unrest in the middle east since before any of us were born. What's new?

It is mostly due to speculators and the growth in our economy(figure that one out HA!)

If our economy "grows", then the investors will come out and buy up various items. Hence, drive the prices forward.

The declining value of the dollar as the reserve currency also has a lot to do with it.
