Gas Prices

As we all know gas prices are on the rise with no end in sight. Why are the prices going up even though the barrel of oil drops. In a perfect world the gas prices would drop when the barrel drops, but they keep rising. We all know it's a rip off, just look a diesel. Diesel doesn't need to be refined but yet it's more expensive then unleaded gas. Now they tell us the price is because of the cost of refining the oil into gas, then they switch there comment and state ?
"The cost of finding new oil is getting more expensive". The Arabs have stated a few times there is no need for gas to be more then two dollars a gallon. Does anyone see a pattern here?
"Why is gas so expansive?"
"Well, because it's getting more expensive to refine oil."
"Why is gas so expensive?"
"Well, because it costs more to find new places to drill for oil."
"Why is gas so expensive?"
"Well, because there was a hurricane and it stopped production."
Now that is a load of BS, We have had Hurricanes before. They act like hurricanes are something new.

"Why did we invade Iraq?"
"Well, because they have WMD's."
"Why did we invade Iraq?"
"Well, because we need to liberate the Iraqis."
"Why did we invade Iraq?"
"Well, because we had to protect the oil fields."

Seems all we get from the Politicians are lame excuses and most people believe them.
The only reason why gas is so expensive is because of greed. Thats all it is plain greed.

Now I ask you, why do you think gas prices are so high?
