You seem to be under the misconception that it is the oil company's job to
keep prices as low as posible. This is not the case. It is their job to
keep profits as high as they can. Obviously the market is able to deal
with prices at thier current rate because according to all the reports
I've seen holiday driving didn't drop a bit this past memorial day
weekend.

How's general aviation doing? How are the airlines doing? Who do you
suppose is subsidizing all those federal bailouts?

Notice that the cost of groceries and postage are going up? Notice how the
cost of airplane rentals is going up?

At what point do we say "It's not the oil company's job to keep oil prices
as low as possible, but it's America's job to protect its own economy
instead of letting Exxon make record profits while the entire US economy
suffers?"

If you guys want to get Draconian about it, I think it's perfectly fair for
Uncle Sam to push back. Don't Tread on Me, et al.
