its not the rag heads doing it...it's our own people lining their pockets...if an anylist says it...its gonna happen...the higher they can run it up the bigger the bonus for all our fine wall street commodity traders...somebody needs to make the exxons and the texacos build a couple of new refinerys with all this billions and billions of profit they are making every quarter....it shure would help because ever time we have a problem at a refinery gas price goes shooting up because they are all running at 100% and not keeping up...thats what is bringing this price to rise right now....
