I WONDER IF THEY EVER REGRET THEIR STUPID DECISIONS AND THIS WAS TRULY A MAJOR GOOF UP!! $2.00 A GALLON WOULD STILL HAVE GIVEN OIL IT'S PROFITS!! BY RAISING THEIR PRICES TOO QUICKLY AND TOO HIGH - THEY HAVE KEPT THE COUNTRY UNABLE TO RECOVER IT'S ECONOMY, BUSINESSES UNABLE TO REHIRE EMPLOYEES, WHICH IN TURN KEEPS PEOPLE FROM BUYING CARS THAT LEADS TO DECLINE IN AUTO SALES - CRUNCHING THE DETROIT BIG 3. THEY COULD HAVE EVEN RAISED IT TO SOMEWHERE LOWER THAN $2.25 AND PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TRAVELLED MORE, BOUGHT BOTH MORE LOCAL GOODS AS WELL AS GAS AT PRICES MANY PEOPLE WOULD ACCEPT, BUT NO, THEY HAD TO BE GREEDY - THAT EXTRA QUARTER TO $.35 WAS ENOUGH TO PROVERBALY BE THE "STRAW THAT BROKE THE ARAB'S OIL CAMELS BACKS!!!
