read a report on how most of the American Oil Companys along with some of the overseas oil companys are actually in debt, coupled with the fact that certian people wants the US to be brought up to the gas price level that the rest of the world has, we are by far paying alot less than most other countries, once we get near the $3.00 a gallon mark or maybe a little higher then the price will level off for us here in the US, give it another year or 2 we will be there.....
