I kinda agree with you on the inflation of the gas prices. The price of gas has risen with the cost of living. Back in the day,your $50 000 house now costs $250 000. You could buy a brand new Camaro for $4000 off the lot. Now you'd pay $40 000....and only get a V6.
However,oil is a non renewable resource,and sooner or later,hopefully not in our lifetimes,but we will run out one day. Yes,we have the oil fields,and privatization would do us so much good,as we could supply ourselves and the US with tons of oil. Plus,there's oil reserves up in the territories that haven't even been tapped into yet.
But yeah,ever since 9/11,and also whenever there's a big hurricane like Katrina,the prices go up and come down and go up and down and it's freakin retarded. I filled up at 102.7 tonight at a galf tank and it cost me 26.75.
It all boils down in the end,that the oil companies know that we need gas,and they control the supplies of oil,so they could jack prices up to $10/L and we'd still guzzle it because we need it.
