Just a bit of food for thought.....the majority of the price increases in the US are due to the ???? poor foreign exchange rate of the dollar relative to other currencies.

Example:
4 years ago a 55 gallon drum of crude was approximately $78 and 30 Euros. Today, that same drum is 36 Euros, and a staggering $140 a barrel.

The oil companies are making money, but they are not the primary driving force behind the increases in our fuel costs.
