I think there is more to it than that..when the demand world wide increases--we are global now--then the cost goes up because the supply is lowered. Until something is done to cut down the usage world wide the cost will rise.

Because it's a cycle. Meaning people will buy small autos to save on gas and then in the next cycle they will buy big (i.e, broncos, huge trucks, etc.). Well now is the time for people to trade in their gas guzzlers for smaller, more gas efficient autos -- which helps who? The auto makers who I believe are in cohoots with the oil companies. No I'm not paronoid -- I've just seen this happen over the last 50 years when the auto manufacturers need people to change their cars before they want to. Judith With the reasons we've been given for the high prices, I think it's only a matter of time before we have another. Something's gotta give. lol Peace, GMan "The only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked!" -- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
