'What are the Americans and the Canadians complaining about? It would be so much worse if they lived in Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, etc. where the price is really high.' The oil companies love that mantra as do the comodities brokers who are also getting filthy rich off the people who can only afford to own an old gas guzzler. (There's a big market for american sedans from the 60's and 70's in Mexico and Central America.) Has anybody noticed that where the price for gas is the highest is in the most civilized areas where it is least likely that an oil exec and his family will be taken to the woods, and the cheapest where it is most likely to happen. I forget, What happens to you if you rob someone in Nigeria or Saudi Arabia?
