I used to work in pricing in big oil. It’s much more complicated than the lay person wants you to believe. When oil is being pumped out of the ground at $70 a barrel (not a price set by oil companies), it is going to be expensive, and so the country and the people pumping the oil are going to make a lot of money. Service stations are NOT getting rich off this. They make a LOT more money off you buying a soda or a coffee inside than they do off fuel.
If our goverment would allow us to drill Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico, that would really help our dependence on foreign oil.
