It is a self regulating system.

No, I am not asking for birthright gasoline pricing. What I am asking is why all of a sudden dramatic jump in the gasoline prices for no apparent reason? The war in Iraq (major oil supplier)is not even mentioned!

Self regulating system...hmmmm let me think about that!

Does this graph help? Changes in enviromental regulations including ethanol caused refineries to shut down to make adjustments to the process. This happens every spring but combined with ethanol replacing MTBE requirements was a disaster.
