High and Higher

That is the Bay Area gas prices, not the pile of cash that each of us has.



This chart shows the price that I paid for the last two years. It's heading toward four dollars per gallon, quickly and surely.

I don't know about you, but it doesn't feel right that the big oil companies are making record profit while we are paying more and more. I can understand their higher revenue numbers due to the high oil price, but they seem to be taking advantage of the American people. Forgive my cynicism, but do you remember Enron, and what they did to California? (If you don’t know, you should watch the movie The Smartest People in the Room. http://www.moviesonline.ca/movienews_7016.html )

What can we do about this?

Stop the war and/or buy a hybrid car, if we can afford it.
