> Hard to say who is to blame in the high price of gas.
> 1st, producers make profits. > 2nd, transporters make profits. > 3rd, refiners make profits, > 4th, transporters (again) make profits > Finally, retailler makes profits. Wrong... The only person to blame is yourself (consumers). If you think the gas is overpriced, then don't buy it. They wouldn't sell it at that price if people we're willing to pay for it. I'm also in the unpopular camp that is all for higher gas prices. Less traffic, less pollution, eventually smaller more efficient cars on the road - sounds good to me. I just wish the additional tax that could be collected would be put to good use... -Steve |
