If that wasn't enough, it was reported that there is an excess inventory of fuel. So why hasn't the price of gas dropped? Each time this cycle occurs oil companies post enormous profits, which I normally wouldn't mind as I'm all for making money. But the oil companies are now taking advantage of american consumers. I think this is one big scam job.

The news today is gas prices plateaued. Yes, cost per barrel dropped, so I would think soon so will the price per gallon.
Europe's gas
is cheap. It cost about the same as ours, in fact. What makes it expensive out-of-pocket are the enormous taxes Euros pay.
Anyway, it's all semantics. Really, if it hurts that much, alternatives exist:
I suggest triangles made out of Tru Temper, Reynolds 853, or Columbus tubing.
