Funny thing is that the profit margin stays the same. It's all market economics. Do you want the government to regulate the cost/price of gasoline? Sounds a bit soviet-era communist to me.

They don't make it, they refine it.

It is a natural resource. One that speculators trade in the futures of. Speculators go crazy for all sorts of reasons. When the price of a barrel goes up, so will the price at the pump.
