That's because of TAXES.
There is no value in the price of fuel, the government likes OPEC to lower production, the taxes increase. M |

Steve, you missed your life's calling, you should be the Senator from the Great State of Cawifowneeah, the head of the House Ways, and Means Committee's special task force on road expenditures.

I bet I could make my own rocket fuel cheeper/better than stuff that comes out the pump now. It can't be all that hard. Get some books and start reading. I used to watch my dad make some killer beer in the basement. Get the right ingredents and reap. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
