"and the outright greed of the oil companies..."
How dare those evil oil companies have profit margins in line with most other large corporations! How dare they set the price of the property they own (and wish to sell to voluntary purchasers) so high that they make 8-12 cents profit a gallon of gas sold! Those ba$tard$!

I heard a brilliant idea the other day. Oil companies should be under govt price regulation just like the utilties - reason being, they get govt assistance. No assistance = no regulation.

Your figures are a little mis guided. You are basing that on market prices but companies like shell and exxon only pay about 35 dollars cost to get oil out of the ground.
