I agree if we continue to pay the high prices then they will be happy to supply the fuel. The one thing that I can't get my thoughts around is that we are at record fuel consumption? I know that my circle of friends and business associates have cut fuel consumption daily. It's actually substantial with how many people use their smaller cars for their little trips with the people I know. The amount of fisherman/outdoorsman who have limited their trips has raised as well.
My thought is if alot more people have experienced the same thing with friends and families at what point does the statement of record fuel consumption not hold water? Heck, the line at the fuel pumps has gone down in the mornings at the few pumps I stop at and most of the patrons are business vehicles. That's another indication of less fuel, granted some of that is because the residential housing market has slowed so they don't need 30 plumbing trucks on the site not to mention all the other trades.
The Democrats always want to go after big business like their some kind of giant killer.......
