I read this:
<<NEW YORK -Oil prices plunged to a seven-month low Monday as the Gulf Coast energy infrastructure appeared relatively unharmed after Hurricane Ike and traders bet that Lehman Brothers ‘ bankruptcy could ignite a massive liquidation of commodities.
Light, sweet crude for November delivery fell $5.67 to $95.64 a barrel in pre-market trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after earlier dropping to $94.41, the lowest level since Feb. 14.
Crude has fallen more than $50 — or 35 percent — from its all-time trading record of $147.27 reached July 11 as a global economic slowdown continues to weigh on demand for energy. >>
So let me do some math … $4.00 – 35% should be around $2.60 … current gas prices by my house $3.75. Who is guilty of the rip-off? Someone somewhere has to be accountable … revolutions start on much smaller issues … time to drive out the crooks.
