This has been happening very quietly since before Thanksgiving.
There is very little being said about this in the press.

GREED

It all comes down to greed. These oil companies are the worst. They control the price of every barrel of oil in this country. And they want more money. When the gas prices were outrages a couple of months ago, and they said there was an oil shortage. BS, there was no shortage. They raised it, to make more money now and in the long run. What were the gas prices before the high gas prices? 1.30, 1.40, 1.50, even less in most parts. But what is considered a "low" gas price? 2.00. That's where it's at, and it will continue to raise till they get satisfied. So, all in all it's greed.

Oil prices are Dropping, But as the market prices for the oils are not directly linked to the crude oil quotation, So the Prices are not reduced simultaneously, But,slow and Steady the Government will reasonably reduce the Oil Prices.We expect so.
THANKS

Price gouging. They will get away with it as long as they can until enough people make a stink. Then prices will drop for awhile back to a comfort level...and when no one is looking, they will raise prices again and try to get away with as long as they can until enough people make a stink. It's an endless cycle.

Bush is allowing this as a form of "Political Payback" for all of the Oil companies that contributed heavily to his re-election campaign in 2004.
You can blame this on your Village Idiot aka George W. Bush!
