They can keep whatever they want to keep. I just resent paying higher and higher prices at the pump, and all we hear is that some refinery in Podunk, Kansas is offline and causing oil to rise over $95 per barrel. We get hit with a 10 or 15 cent per gallon increase, but when the refinery in Podunk goes back to normal in a few days, the price doesn’t drop back down until a month later. That leaves about 3 weeks of inflated prices for the consumer to pay. That three weeks of added profits are what I resent.

Gas back in 1964 was 32 cents a gallon. If you factor in inflation and the devaluation of the dollar, a gallon of gas should be over 4 dollars a gallon.

You know its like the people paying $750,000.00 for a house that cost $50,000.00 40 years ago.
