Don't blame the "big" oil companies...Blame pinhead motorists who have to drive one block to get a pack of cigarettes at the corner store. Supply and demand...If people didn't drive so much, especially wasting gas on stupid driving habits, the price wouldn't be so high. Companies charge what they can get, and there is nothing wrong with that. They are in the business of profits, just like GM, not handouts. Leave handouts to the goverment (or hopefully not). If GM could sell 1 million Cadillacs in Saudi Arabia at $500,000 a pop, would you complain? GM fans would be cheering in the street...GM would be saved.
If you don't like the gas prices, TAKE THE BUS. Live closer to your work...Ride a bike (great for your health). Stay out of the drive-thru...If you chose to live far from work or public transit, well, that is the same as someone choosing to live in downtown Manhattan. It was their choice, so can they really complain about all the noise and high rent prices? But please do not complain because obviously a lot of people deem their gas purchases something they must have...Obviously it is not hurting them so much since many just complain but do not do anything to change their habits. Tough sh__. You don't complain about getting all the cheap products at the dollar store, do you?
