"Back in '59 I paid 25 cents per gallon and only made $1.70 per hour. Using those figures with inflation paying $10 per gallon would not be out of line. " there you go kids, more "new math" from the public schools.

Definitely out of line.
All that would do is give the oil co's huge profits.
It's politics and greed driving prices.
If we had been drilling more here like ANWR a long time ago the price would be half what it is now.
With more technology drilling becomes more efficient and costs go down.
