Are Oil companies holding back on Gas till prices keep going up to make record profits ?

Is this whats really going on . With the help of the Bush administrations Blessing .Are Oil companies holding back on Gas till prices keep going up to make record profits ?
Well hell, they have made a killing already. Record high.


There is one thing that some people will never understand and that is that there are some Corporations throughout the world that don't give a darn about nations, peoples, only their own continued wealth. In other words there are the haves and the have knots. And the haves basically can bring down the economies of the world, and still have their kingdoms. Fact is that just some of the masses these days enjoy more than the past and a bit more educated and thus see what is going on, but still are the masses of haves wanna bees.Are Oil companies holding back on Gas till prices keep going up to make record profits ?
Alright! another conspiracy theorist who thinks Bush is at the reigns of gasoline prices. Lets break this down here, if you want to know who makes the most money from gasoline. In order for gasoline to get to the pump, crude oil must be:


Found according to GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS


Pumped


Barreled


Transported to refinery


Refined according to FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS


Refined AGAIN to STATE GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS


Pumped onto a Truck, which runs on Diesel Fuel


Transported to gas stations


Pumped into the reservoirs at the gas station





Once gasoline is AT the gas station, it is Taxed AGAIN according to environmental regulation.





When you break it down, who makes the most money off of gasoline? The government. So why do you go after a legitimate business, blindly swinging and making ludicrous accusations, when the government is benefiting much better than the oil companies from gasoline.





So maybe it's time to de-regulate some restrictions on oil and gasoline. I'll bet the price would reduce quite a bit!
yeah, probably. by all estimates, oil is going to run out in about 30 years, so they better get their money while they can.
fishy industry.....seems like they do it.
It could possibly be. Back in the oil crisis of the 1970s, refineries had all their tanks full without room to put any more, yet were crying oil shortage to raise up the oil prices...
Yes, wars are fought over oil and the money they can make so ripping off a few million people is hardly going to cause them sleepless nights.
Sort of, but the real problem is Idnia and China coming out of their dark ages and now more and more of their people are using more products of oil, whereas they never did before.
yes indeedy...
