ITD-
Unfortunately your are correct. Supply and demmand really has nothing to do with gasoline prices. Oil companies are in bed with the Cartel and many politicians are in bed with the oil companies. What other industry can raise pricing whenever they want and never have to answer for it? Fuel cell technology exists and could replace fossil fuel, but there is no incentive for vehicle manufacturers to pursue it. The fact that this country depends on a resource that it doesn't own, and those who do are our sworn enemies boggles my mind. Until consumers band together to force change, nothing will happen.
