Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that an extra 80 cents or so a gallon will break the bank, it wont, but it is the reason these companies are reaping massive profit gains...
i also have to comment on this...i usually always hear a comparison of the prices of other countrys like canada's prices a year or so ago was $3 or so a L, if i remember correctly thats you can get several gallons in a L and we were up to 3.50/g here by my house.

if i read that right you are saying that an extra 80 cents a gallon wont break a family's budget, if so then that is totally wrong cause my wife and i are having a horrible time paying our bills, i only use my car to go to work and back, i usually stay home or run/ride a bike down to the store to grab something quick cause its too damn expensive. if i am wrong, plz correct me cause i dont think that comment is correct!
