Gas Prices

People, what is the deal with the price of gas. I can remember growing up over summer vacation driving around with the parents and seeing prices of $0.88...no joke. Which would mean my 20 gallon tank to fill from completely empty would cost me a bank busting $17.80. Nowadays its costing me $52.00 to fill my tank at some absurd value of somewhere around $3.00 a gallon.

C level execs of major oil companies are still reporting huge profits year in and out and yet not much is being done about. Not to mention people trading on the future's market making boatloads.

I'm just glad I don't have a car that 'requires' premium...poor saps.
