Supply and demand is the sole culprit when it comes to PRICE of gas. Oil companies are far too public to have legitimately gouged consumers.

Now the real complicated issues lie with the supply part of the equation. That's where eveything is totally F'ed up. Screw big oil for that and especially the f'ing weather that is killing our supply. Oh yeah and F our entire government for not taking action to reduce our demand for oil. If the government would make alt fuels viable(ie: cheap and effective enough to drive demand) then we wouldn't be in this shape. There needs to be serious tax breaks for alt fuel vehicle owners and gigantic tax breaks for car companies who develop them. I am not a big subsidy type guy but in this case the only thing that is going to move the car companies along is money. There is no other good incentive for them to get us quickly into position to use enough alt fuel vehicles to actually make a difference.
