“That’s a pricing issue” I said, “not a profits issue. Prices won’t decline until demand for gasoline decreases, or the supply of oil increases, or both.

I certainly don't have a problem with the oil companies making huge profits, but I do have a problem with the price of gas and so does our economy. It's a different ball game because without gas our economy is nonexistant. It is the catalyst for everything.

You can't have a US economy without gas! If people can't afford it to get back and forth to work then what do we do?

the higher the price of gas...the more we will get for our us as suppliers try to make PROFITS...
Supply and demand work when operating in a Free Market, just when alternatives such as oil sands become profitable...the Price of Oil will come way down to knock the legs out...
