Sammyg2 is right on. I've been in the energy business since 1980 and heard all sorts of stories about why prices are high. Fact is supply and demand. Katrina closed a half dozen refineries, shut off most of the gulf production, and until power is restored shut down a couple of major gasoline pipelines to the South and East. Besides that Americans continue to buy big cars, trucks and SUV's especially in Houston. If we bought vehicles that got better gas milage (like my 1987 that gets 25 mpg) we'd lower the price of gas (and all other energy) dramatically. But we won't.
