1. Oh but wait - investigations as to price fixing are possibly going to be considered
By some of the nation's power brokers.

They just might "look into" the price fixing angle...

Hillary has already offered us her assurance.

4. Obscene is the perfect word for it!
:mad:
And it is not just Chevron, it is ALL of them...every quarter breaking records while we are breaking our backs trying to pay for gas to get to work so we can afford the ridiculous prices for food!

Meanwhile McCain admits the war was about oil, so then the war was so the oil companies would have an excuse to gauge us and make record profits?
