The problem here is that we are continuing to pay those 'hidden' expenses and taxes while also paying the ever
increasing costs of the gasolene. The prices are being driven by speculators, not by true demand, and the profits are
exorbitant.

China and India tripling and quadrupling their consumption is not a "true demand"?




Insignificant at this point and not enough to justify the price of gasoline doubling in the last 2 1/2 years. USA is
number 1 consumer by a long shot...
