It's like house prices... $600,000 is a huge price, but then somehow it starts to be a bargain. Insane. And then well... reality hits and we end up in this messed up economy.

The refineries are coming back online at a very fast pace and it only effected less than 1% of the total oil platforms in the Gulf. Also, fuel is under $100 a barrel now...but it probably won't reflect those prices at the pump for another few weeks while supply gets back up to speed. Glad it is going down again!

The Attorney General is looking into several allegations of price gouging. I hope he does determine that the companies should be prosecuted. It's simply wrong when they raise prices so high when they don't need to. Can you say price gouging? The Attorney General is looking into several allegations of price gouging.
