The most salient thing posted on this thread today concerned some guy paying 200.00 a week for gas.

Sounds like 1974 if you leave out the housing/credit/bubble, Chindia and the incredibly low interest rates of today.. Even that dude in the Geico commercial looks like a 1974 throwback<g>

People blaming the oil companies for colluding to raise the price of oil or whatever, shows how totally clueless they must be on all other issues of economics, science etc. This is a much less common meme here in Australia (but most of these "clueless memes" are less common here :)). Still there is a lot of suspicions of petrol stations' pricing behavior, so much so that the government enacted an idiotic new scheme where petrol stations must notify some authority every time they change prices which can't be more than once a day. This seems anti-competitive if anything to me.
