Gas Prices Will Go Up with a Fury

I know this article is somewhat dated, but here iare my comments anyway.
You said,"Exploring, producing, refining and marketing oil is a business, although many people in the U.S. seem to be under the delusion that we have some form of inalienable right to cheap gasoline. "

The wholesale price of gasoline (RBOB) has moved from $1.06 to $1.24 in the last 60 days. Yet in Redding, California in the last sixty days, pump prices have gone from $1.49 to $2.15. WHY? Are we running out of gas? All the refinery problems are caused by the refiners themselves, so they should pay the difference, even if it means lower profits. THEY ARE GOUGING plain and simple. I am only willing to pay $1.50 per gallon. I have to drive to work, pick up kids from school etc. So I am forced to adhere to the oil companies extortion. They should be fined.
