Oil went from $6.50/bbl for sweet crude in ‘99 to 147 in 2008 (up 22.6 times). Gas went from 0.87 to 4.19 (4.8 times).
Oh yeah, definitely rigged.
Gas should have cost $19.66 a gallon.
How come people only do the math to support the whining?

Oil was in the teens in 99, but never at $6.50.

People look at the numbers and think that the price of oil is the only component of the price of gasoline. If the price of oil were to go to $0 then the price of gasoline should be $0.
