Here in Kansas City it's $3.40 a gallon. I'm sick of hearing the stories about "summer driving season", "refinery fires" and one of my favorites, "heating oil demand" causing huge swings in prices.

Is the petrochemical industry the only f*cking industry on the planet that doesn't plan for the next season? Even worse is their feining difficulty for whatever made up crisis they conjure up while banking record profits.

I make enough to buy the gas, but I don't have to like the price. Economics is one thing but continual market manipulation is crap.
