Gas prices have always been manipulated, but now add to that the sales
of our refined fuel to other countries to reduce the inventory and keep prices climbing.

U.S. exported more gasoline than imported last year

China secured the large deals from the Iraq War. We should concentrate on continuing to create the worlds next source of efficient energy, and, on improving our energy efficiency in the US.

Libya only produces a tiny fraction of the world's oil, and I'm pretty sure none of it was coming to the US to begin with.
