Fuel prices are going up, up, up. The industry, and middle east sources are saying on the news they we are "well supplied". Oil execs are getting $400 million severance packages, (isn't that a bit excessive?) My business is locked into a contract price so it can't go up in reflection of the cost of the fuel that my business runs on and depends on. The Israel/lebanon conflict is half a world away and no real threat to any oil producing station that I can see on any satalite map, yet, we are being squeezed even tighter at the pump where it would actually be cheaper for me to close my business than to keep it running. So why in the hell are we, the end consumer hurting and not the guys with the $400 million severance packages? Why can't they bite the bullet with a $10 million severance package?
