Maybe I'm slow, but the thought just hit me like a ton of bricks while I was filling my gas tank for 1.79 a gallon: We've been lied to all this time!
Why is gas so cheap? President's magic wand? New discovery of oil? Surplus of gasoline? Global relations? Is there a new found peace in the middle east that noone is reporting?
While the actual question needs to be answered, the fact remains that someone or some group is purposefully driving down the price, which means someone or some group had been purposefully jacking up the price of gas for years!
We've been paying over $2 to $4 a gallon for years and had every excuse in the world thrown at us. Now, the price dives below $1.80 and its a mystery. Sure, we're all certain this "sale" will end soon, but why? What reason will we be given?
