You have an arrogant attitude. I have more in my 401K than you do,

over-inflated gas prices which are clearly a result of poorly managed
supply (not increasing demand). Investing money in the industry which
I don't have at my disposal (and no, 401K funds typically don't allow
you to target one or two stocks) as a way of saying "if you can't beat
them, join them" is BS. Also, trying to insult my education is
juvenile. You are what, 25? 28? You act like 17.

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.

I didn't go anywhere... not at these prices! I'm not claiming its the
oil companies fault anyway, its really our EPA restrictions that
prevent new refineries from being built. Think that is going to
change?
