Re: US Gas Prices Gone up again

When the Middle East problems settle down, will the gas/petrol prices come down again? Will they heck. The gas/petrol companies always look for an excuse to up the prices and don't lower them when the "reason" for the upped prices has gone.

yep that's the jist of it....there very keen to hype up the gas, when there is a problem somewhere in the world...once that problem looks like its going to get fix, they still hold onto the high prices...there no different from the robbing banks...IMHO
