DONE
Now I don't know if its true, but when the gas prices first started to go up, I heard the oil companies were able to inflate prices to generate bigger profits for more refineries and repairs to refineries damaged by Katrina. They talk about demand making prices go up, I don't doubt this was part of their argument. If it is or isn't I doubt all that money is really going to that. It sounded like a "foot in the door" to abuse a bad situation from a natural disaster from the begining. I always hated the "one way" excuses about price fluctuations. The price of gas goes up the same day oil prices go up, but when the oil prices drop, we don't see the gas prices drop. We need some kind of regulation to stop getting screwed.
