Yup, Californian's are getting bent over hard. This morning our state goverment oversight looking into price fixing stated "there is no evidence of price fixing". What he doesn't tell Californian's is that there are four gas companies that control the market. They keep minimal supply so that any increase in demand or oil price flux allows them to raise prices without being charged for price fixing. Those four companies basicly have our jingles b's and squeeze them at least four times a year. Very predictable. The war just gives them more justification to squeeze harder.
It almost makes Enron look like a Saint to California.
