some of it is a supply & demand issue and a lot of it has to do with a limited amount of refineries in current use. some were damaged by hurricanes and a big one here in Texas had an explosion last year and never reopened.

thank you Isabel. nothing to do with supply and demand, funding the war, or anything else. its called GREED. 6 years ago gas was under a dollar a gal. what has happened to supply and demand in 6 years? nothing.
