Hey dipstick, "Big Oil” does not dictate fuel prices. Contracts between oil companies and refineries — and between refineries and retail outlets — typically tie the purchase price to the spot market price in whatever trading exchange is most convenient. Hence, fuel prices are ultimately established by thousands of market makers engaged in spot markets — a group that is almost certainly immune to political jawboning and incapable of fixing prices even if they wished.

You are such a partisan fool...

If the White House is for sale, it is better that a domestic public company buy it instead of international crimninal Marc Rich.

It IS pretty funny, with oil profits representing about seven cents a gallon, that government leaders should complain at all when at the same time, without working at all to provide us the oil, individual states take thirty, forty & fifty cents per gallon. Can you figure out which entity, big oil or state government, is by far the biggest undeserving massive special interest cheating us?
