Do you suppose that if gasoline really reaches that level that Congress will take a look at oil company windfall profits?

Would it really be categorized as "windfall profits"? I wonder what the cost of business is for them.

The costs of product obviously do go up for them, but take a look at their profits from the last several reports.
They are setting records.
Huge records.

No. They did that after Hurricane Katrina, remember. They're all friends, so nothing happened. And nothing will happen if we keep re-electing the same a-holes to congress/senate every single time.

Gas is about 3.60 in S. Texas right now. At this point, I'm checking my schedule to begin working 4 days a week. I live 45 miles from work and I already drive very little other than home/work/grocery store. Most of my stops are not too far off my usual path. If it get's to $5, I may also move in with a friend a few days a week!

That is how much gas is here with a grocery store, starbucks, and gas station across the street from us. If it hits 5 bucks a gallon or higher, I will be quitting my job and staying home to conserve gas (husband has a good job, works out of the home, and can support me). my paycheck just cant compensate $5 per gallon gas and the cost of living increases that will go along with continued gas price increases.

They should take a look at the special interest groups.
