HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody who thinks those gangsters who manipulate the petro-energy markets have ANY intention of allowing oil prices to deprecitate would probably buy a certain bridge in Brooklyn.

From the Arab Oil Shieks to the investors in oil futures, they all manipulate the markets. They are doing it now, they did it last year and they will never stop.

When crude oil dropped below $40 a barrel,oil companies cut back on refining to keep the prices up;gas here in northern Illinois went up to 2.45/gal yesterday.I told my kids it will be over 3.00 by Fathers Day and well over 4.00 before Labor Day.I hope I’m wrong,but we’ve been down this road before.

Agree totally; however, the buggers have effectively *broken* capitalism as it is.
Now one can't get blood out of a stone any more than they can *eat* their oil.

Petroleum's a lot like newspapers.
Both have a freshness period after which it's either, "old news" or in the case of refined petroleum, it rots.
