Wow, I saw that the price of mid-grade gas for my car is now over $3 per gallon. And no one is screaming and yelling. No one is asking for any kind of investigation into price-gouging of price fixing. By God, the oil companies learned their lesson well, didn't they?
Instead of bumping the price of gasoline by dollars and risking the ire of the general public they just raised the prices by pennies...continuously. And no one complains.
As I posted before, they learned from the classic story of the frog. The frog analogy that I used previously. I predict that this time next year the price of gasoline will be over $4 a gallon and the profits the oil companies will post will be record-breakers...again. They will accumulate more money and wealth in order to purchase more politicians (such as Barton, who feels compelled to apologize to his master in public).
The oil companies need lots of money to bribe their political lackeys.
