Orion,

I agree with you. The finger pointing isn't going to help any of us out in the long run. For some of us older folk that can remember back to the late 70's when gas almost doubled, interest rates were on the rise toward 20% as well. Not exactly the same as what is happening today, but similar. We all survived but it was painful for many. Hopefully we all survive this hickup too.

And, as for Venezuala, the government controls CITGO so I would think that it is probably subsidized to keep it $0.12 a gallon.
