rogerparry; Do not hope for much! Mr Kovack has already given the oilbarons an excuse, noting that foreign needs have pushed up the price of fuel. A good study should start from the beginning not half way!
Donations from the oilbarons should be considered also because those who lobby in our capitols are donating to the political elections.

My question is..Now that airlines are charging a fuel surcharge on flights how long do you think it will be before all companies selling their commodities are doing the same??? Funny thing is that as a man that has been under the employ of the transportation sector throughout my working life I always wondered and knew eventually the world would have to understand that "If you got it a truck brought it" and transportation is not free..yet no-one seems to understand that.

Refineries at 87% of capacity, prices holding and going up, dollar weakening, more resources pumped into Iraq... Oil profits down (percentage-wise) so our White House Idiot and DickieBoy must be in a panic, and begging their Oil Buddies to hold the line...

It's a question why kerosine derivatives have risen more sharply than gasoline. I suspect the reason is simple greed, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. This is intended more as an observation than an accusation...

Sure would like to see diesel come down.
To fill my 150 gal diesel tank in the big RV (40') at $4.25 (Missouri)
totals $637.00. But that will last two days so its only $318.00 per day, driving 9 hours a day it's only $35.00 an hour.
But who's driving? It's parked .....

Please, not another congressional inquiry into how capitalism works. Why do they continue to wate my tax money on these "investigations?" Why can't we just send them to an economics course where they get a final exam and a grade. They don't seem to learn anything without that.

and since fuel taxes are a percent of the price...the higher the price the higher the taxes. Hence no incentive for more drilling or investigating or anything else
