It's Them, Not Me: Oil Boys At It Again

I filled up with gas yesterday at $2.68 a gallon. Other stations in Fox Lake, Illinois at $2.70 and $2.72.

The last time the Big Oil Boys (GRBs) kept it this high was before the summer assault on our wallets back in 2008 when they got the price of a gallon over $4. Are they planning for $4.50 or more this summer.

The reason given for oil prices going up is that the economy appears to be improving. To my way of thinking, these Big Oil Boys had as much to do with the downturn as the investors.

Hopefully, they learned that once they hit the $4 barrier, people will seriously cut back on driving, causing the prices to drop again. Did they learn anything last time? Probably not as their greed and avarice know no boundaries.
