cause it isnt their fault - its their right to set gas prices at that level because it is their product to sell. they arent selling oil because we need it, they sell it to make a profit. you really cant do anything about that except to choose not to buy it; its your only option as a consumer. the fact that you are dependent on this resource makes no difference - they are in the business to make money, not help you get to work.

Opec members:

Venezuela, Nigeria, Algeria, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Indonesia, Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirites

These countries basically collectivley control oil prices.

OPEC has a monopoly over oil supply.

There will never be too much oil being produced at one time. This would cause prices to drop and reduce profits. It goes for anything. Why would you put out 1,000,000 widgits at once when you can put out 5,000 and raiise their prices.
