When oil was $40 a barrel, the average price of gas in California was under $1.60 a gallon, now it's up to about $2.30 even though a barrel of oil costs even less. The only answer that I think can account for it is GREED. There are no oil refineries out, nothing to keep the prices up.

Does anyone know of any grassroots groups who are doing something about this? Where can they be found? Sorry for my rant....lol
