Excellent question...been waiting for someone to catch that. In short....maybe.....if the supply runs low enough. The real story of supply/demand/price is that fuel is sold at a market, just like tomatoes and corn. When there is a freeze or drought the price is bid up by the retailers untill it reaches a price they are not willing to pay or....cannot recover on the open market. The current price of gasoline = maximum amount the retailer believes you will pay for it
Great point, it's all speculators making a damn killing off us
This has been the case for a Looooong time. The tree huggers stop the building of the refineries to supposedly protect the environment. Their "protection" typically causes more harm than good but they're too stupid to realize it. There is a refinery shut down now for "maintenance" If there were others built it would be no biggie and we'd be paying under $2 a gallon. We have more than enough oil. We don't NEED to buy any from the rag heads. We do so to conserve/reserve our own supply.(Postal @ May 07 2007,14:46) Yeah, I heard on the radio today that they are now blaming it on lack of refineries to keep up with demand. Plenty of crude, just can't refine it quick enough. Who knows for sure?

You could always move....(DaCol. @ May 07 2007,15:19) I just bought 91 Oct for $3.11 but only paid $3.08 because if you pay CASH, you get .03 cents off. Geee what a deal, World Oil Prices Down and I get to pay more and more $$$ for gas
I just LOVE America :::::::::::: Now where is that corn stuff

the refine the oil.....BP and Conoco Phillips.(newmill @ May 07 2007,12:34)But what do they refine?(Sir T Rex @ May 07 2007,12) Thats funny. We have 2....now hear this....WE HAVE 2 OIL REFINERIES here in Whatcom county.....2 of them and we have some of the highest gas prices in the nation and the highest in the state. Just about 10 miles south of us, its at least 30 cents cheaper...
