Correct. And most of the retail stations are independently owned.

The net profit to oil companies is 9.5%. About 1/2 to 1/3 of the banking or pharmaceutical companies. Also consider TAXES paid by consumers which is DOUBLE the profit margin of big EEEVIL oil. Dem arguments hold no water in logic, common sense or facts.

But he suggested it will take time to produce legislation. "The process is a long one. It takes hearings, it takes fact finding," said Dingell in a telephone interview.

That's all you need to know about the next Congress. The same thing will be said by all of the Democrat chairs. Lots of smoke, but no fire.

When oil goes back to $3.00/gallon - will the MSM blame the dems on a daily basis?

Heck no, it will be the Republicans and the Oil Barons plotting to bring down the Democrats and put the Republicans back in control of congress.

T. Boone Pickens has prophesied oil rising to over $100/bbl; ergo, smart people are going to rush out and get German deisals or Japanese hybrids.

Experts are so much more smarter than we stupid peons.

Yeah. Give everybody the impression that the sky is falling and the country's falling apart. The press helps the dems do this immensely
