"Home fuel oil is already topping $2.00 a gallon in Maine."

The oil companies are simply ripping. While crude prices are up, there is no need for the present prices, other than just generating obscene profit. The American people also better consider what Presidential candidate wants to generate an energy policy that lets us be much less dependent on foreign oil....?????? ... remember all you liberals --- Clintoon and Gore both REJECTED DEVELOPING ANY FORM OF AN ENERGY POLICY!!!!
so, you think refiners are immune to high prices? why do you think prices are higher? it's because what's being produced is in such high demand by refiners. they pay more. we pay more. do you think this business is somehow immune to the forces that affect every other?
