Is that taking into account inflation?
I can't wait to see what the prices are like this summer, when they are typically highest. I think gas prices are all a scam anyway. Every once in a while some government agency looks into the oil industry for price gouging and they always magically find that there is nothing fishy going on. They never seem to explain why there is nothing fishy going on, just that "trust us, nothing underhanded is going on".
