I smell another Enron. Gas prices have been rising for the last two years at the mention of -anything-. There have been hurricanes in the gulf in the past. Did they cause prices to rise like this? Oil companies are being opportunistic and charging as much as they think they can while news brodcasts have been reporting for the last year how prices will reach $3 a gallon. Self-fuffiling prophecy? Oil company profits are at an all time high and the government reports a healthy economy based on income of more tax money. Money from gas profits? Are the oil companies creating their own crisis and the news brodcasts are hyping them for ratings? People love to be scared. Terrorism iin your neigborhood. Gas prices tripiling. Hurricanes. Floods. Tornadoes.
