reallly;time after time congress has had hearing ;perhaps more than any other trype i recent years and they found nothing ;including the oil hating democrats. Is the defciit alos rigged.LOL
I remember an investigation the government did a few years ago about price gouging after some natural disaster. It took less than a week to determine there was no price gouging. The government can't decide what to have for lunch in less than a week.

Sounds fishy to me. DONT trust the greedy oil companies.
Notice there is no explanation, not even a vague reference, as to why the price is expected to go up.

It's likely to go up on the entire west coast - that will push it up to $4.20 around here.
Irony, just as they take away the pot dispensaries. I feel for you Cali peeps but you want the cleanest gas in the nation so you pay for it even before the Chevron fire. What's crazy is it's going to go up around the country even though we don't use that gas. And Chevron only supply 16% of the West Coast.
I wish I could understand the market. When crude was around 150/barrel we were paying less per gallon of gas but as of today it's 94/barrel and gas is about 3.50/gallon.
