Ya supply and demand. America's hooked on gas like crack cocaine. The demand is constant and abundant, the supply is controlled by the monopolistic oil giants. I wish anti trust laws applied, but it's too easy for these fuckers to have a Federal Judge in their pocket so they can play by their own rules. The price will never stop going up, unless everyone decides to drastically reduce their consumption (which i dont see happening). And the supply isnt going to run out in any of our lifetimes, so bend over, grab ur ankles, and say "Yes Mr. Exxon-Mobil CEO, fuck me harder. Yeah that's how i like it."
