Cheney is doing his very best to keep oil prices high.

The oil prices are being held high by greedy ****s manipulating the
commodities markets (and hoping people will blame it on the war).

The oil companies have been posting year over year record profits.

Gas prices are an interesting thing in southern California. Although
there are several brands around town they are all at the same price.
Since I travel through several towns during the week I keep an eye on
the gas prices. I have noticed that the price is the same on all brands
in an area or town if it is small enough. The other trend I noticed is
the price goes up as you drive toward LA. I'm not sure that this makes
sense as their are more people as you drive toward LA and the
refineries as in that direction. Going toward LA the purchase of gas by
volume goes up and the distance to the refineries goes down. The bulk
gas costs should be going down and the volume up so why is the price
higher?
