Yes, gasoline costs too much, and the oil companies (i.e. stockholders) have made quite the profit over the last few months. It's called capitalism. Getting the government involved will only drive down supply even more, resulting in long lines at fueling stations, higher costs, and a falling standard of living for everyone. The market sets the price, not Bush or God. Until someone comes up with a reasonable alternative we're stuck with oil.
