It is understood that oil is a non-renewable resourse, but are recent price increases out of line?

We are being gouged. Many of these oil-producing nations are selling their gasoline for pennies per gallon at home, and they have just as good refineries as we do here.
The Chinese have been working out oil deals with nations that the United States will not talk to, and their rates have been far cheaper.

gouged is not the word, screwed over big time is more like it and you can thank wonderful OPEC for that. 1991 first golf war and they loved us and 22 dollars a barrel and 97 cents a gallon! we must create bio fuels and tell them to shove it! and there dirty oil! also!

There is only one place to go, it's up, look at it this way, you pay more for gas, but you can buy cheap Chinese goods, so I guess it is a wash, unless of course you lost your job, because the factory you used to work at moved to China.
