I can remember at one time about six or seven years ago that regular was below a dollar a gallon.
If you pay attention, the excuses that are given for the price hikes are inconsistent. When it really went up the first time, they said it was the developing third world glut. Then you had all those suspicious refinery explosions and shutdowns. Then it migrated towards them not being able to keep up capacity. Then it's hurricanes. You get dizzy from all the bullshit.
They don't have record profits if it's costing them more. Somebody's jerking somebody around or you have some type of economic warfare going on behind the scenes.
At one point they were allowing people tax deductions on big trucks and SUV's. That was suspicious to me. Now look at what's going on.

Bush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use. The best way to stop
using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants! That would
be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would come
down.
Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the border. When they catch an
illegal immigrant crossing the border, hand him a canteen, rifle and
some ammo and ship him to Iraq. Tell him if he wants to come to America
then he must serve a tour in the military. Give him a soldier's pay
while he's there and tax him on it.
After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended
this country. He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal
patriot.
This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a
solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better
life for themselves. If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway,
without the canteen, rifle or ammo.
Problem solved.
