You & me both! No the typical law of supply & demand doesn't even begin to be in play here with gas. For example, can anyone explain why a barrel of oil can produce more gallons of diesel than gas yet diesel prices (which add to prices of ALL of our goods) are higher than gas prices...? No, there is something deeper at work here. At one time, "they" claimed it was the lack of refineries. If that is the case, the government needs to focus on opening more refineries.
