PGRDN,I don't read your ****,o.k.? Say what you want,but this is not a free market competition.As long as it remains this way,they will just keep limiting supply(no matter what the real situation is.)I understand that it is a good thing for the people in your state(overall) to be able to rape the people of this country by not having a fair competition in the market place.Facts are facts,and there aren't enough oil companies in America to insure good competition for the consumer.We seem ignorant of this most basic fact.Until you look at the fact that oil producing countries talk to each other about how much they are going to produce,and U.S. Oil companies talk to each other about how much they are going to charge,then there is no reason to expect there to be anything but a constant shortage of gasoline.How can there not be that? There is no competition,sir.You can't see this? You want to blame it on us not using less,or China using more? Guess what? No matter what,they are gunna have some excuse to explain why there is short supply,but the main reason is because it favors them to have short supply.The obvious problem #1 is there isn't enough competition in this market.I don't know how you would ever expect a fair situation if you don't have competition.It goes against any common sense.Yea,they are making more and more profits because they don't have to cut prices to compete for your business...o.k.? This is eluding you.You have a brain block.
