And, in case you're wondering, your local retailers are lucky if they're making more than a couple cents on each gallon of gas.
You're right, it'* sad, and unless someone has a brilliant plan on holding ceo'* accountable, it will continue. OPEC publicly declared they had NO OIL SHORTAGE. They blame the refineries, which magically enough, shut down if a kid in Indonesia farts.
