Big Oil watched Al Gore’s movie and became alarmed about Global Warming so they raised the prices on gas so people would drive less. :)

Although you are joking, you do touch on a point that deserves mention. The environmental lobby DOES advocate much higher taxes on gasoline - to push the price to European levels - to promote conservation. So when they complain about high prices, they are talking out of both sides of their mouth. They WANT higher prices, but they want it in the form of draconian taxes.
