You have no idea what you are talking about, which makes me glad that you "as a consumer" have absolutely no power. The country would be a sad place if we gave people like you any say in things.
Why does it not bother you that 'big oil' has made huge profits on the back of the hurricane crisis? Do you consider this price gouging? If so, do you actually believe that consumers hold no purchasing power?

Why don't you explain yourself; your comment was vague.
Right you are..bravo!
The price of oil reflects the bizarre OPEC monopoly control..., "perception" of availability, and the resulting futures market....
Production has been down....it's in all the papers...therefore, expenses are down.....no investment in refining....limited investment in drilling new holes... The "boogieman" is not the oil companies....it's simple supply & demand and all government meddling....
Scapegoating is easy, the dimwitted will always fall in line behind the emotional finger pointers....
