The price of refined fuel has gone up because of the laws of supply and
demand - there is extra demand as people try to hoard, and restricted supply because refineries are offline. It's just the free market you're so enthusiastic about operating in its normal manner. Anyone who thinks this is the "Free Market" at work clearly hasn't looked closely at the issues. Yes, in the very short term, prices shoot up when supply is diminished. However, between regulation and taxation, there is practically nothing "free" about the oil/gas market, from supply, through refining, to end-user sales. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
