Look at it this way... The ONLY reason gas prices are so high is, 'cause they can. Plain and simple, it doesn't matter what the price is, we need it, and we'll buy it. The industry is well aware of this, and generally operates on the "If a little profit is good, more is better" theory.
Also, consider that, at least here in Canada, taxes account for up to 1/2 the pump price... Just in Ontario, there are four seperate taxes on gas!
The only thing that's going to get prices back to where they belong is, either forcing Govt's to cut gas taxes, or lining up big oil execs in front of a wall and shooting them. ( Personally I love that idea, get to the 4th or 5th one and prices will drop!)
