We're not running out, why is it so high

you guys think 3.50 is alot down here in texas its gotten up to 6.07$ a gallon i swear.
its crazy.

I'm still seeing prices in the $2.80s, here in the southwest part of Fort Worth. Other parts of the city are in the $2.60s still. Nothing more than the $3.10s.

And yes, the free market will work this out eventually. I think the government is cutting through a lot of the red tape that holds up the building of refineries, so within a year and a half or so, when new refineries are built and the old ones are repaired, prices will go down.
