`"The developing world is driving the increases in oil prices." quote
and Speculators too, damn them to Hell!
Same ones who got caught in the real estate mess, now are messing with OIL, and other commodities, which just drives the price of everything UP! period.

I'm only 27 and I can remember filling up my tank for less than 90 cents a gallon.

I remember when the price per gallon window on the pump only went as high as .99 and 9/10.
I remember when stations had to scramble for new pumps went it went above a buck a gallon. This would be about the late 70s, during the second embargo--Iran hostage era. |

I pumped gas at Duarte's in P-town for 39.9 and 43.9 for premium. That was the Summer of '69 no pun intended.  |

This whole business of the oil companies turning record profits amongst all this just doens't add up. Then they go in front of congress and say they are victims of the high prices too, oh really? Then they put detergent in the gasoline and charge an extra 15 cents a gallon  |
