Gas Prices

What do you think about the current gas prices? Why do you think they're so high? Do you believe what they tell you or do you think its all a big scam?

In my opinion, its not about the cost of oil, the cost of transportation, the cost of production or anything like that. Its all about profits and its a ripoff to the consumer. The companies like Mobil, Shell, etc. are making record profits, and yet they blame other things for the high gas prices. The government/regulating body believes them too.

I once saw a graph that showed how they broke down gas cost. It showed oil price, transportation, production, profits, etc. The biggest piece in that pie graph was profits. I wish I could find that graph again.

lol, that's cheap! When I got gas it was $3.23 here. Now its down to $3.08. I don't think our's is going to get below $3 anytime soon.

Hell, the state is even talking about adding a $0.66/gallon tax because the state is running out of money for road repair and stuff. If they do that, I might just have to move lol.
