Boy, I'm really lost! I was told that the one of the reasons gas prices were so high was that our refineries were at max capacity and we needed more.
Gas prices are still high, if you ask me, so people must still be using quite a bit. Now I know the gub'mint makes more on a gallon of gas than the actual producers and makers of the product, but still . . .they should still be making a profit.

Gasoline Price are where they are due to the crude oil price used to make the gasoline.

When oil was this price years ago, gasoline was even higher.
