Today, lawmakers bemoaned the billions in profits by big oil companies, as their constituents complain about record costs for gasoline, diesel and heating oil in a rare hearing with executives from the five largest oil and gas companies.

They are going to straighten this mess out, right?

April fools! HAHAHAHAH!
I can't believe anybody fell for that!

How can they? As much as I hate it, the Oil companies don't set the PB price.

Also, people forget that turning Oil into Gasoline, for example, is not an easy process.

Ha Ha. Good one, but even if oil companies did lower fuel prices, you and I would never see those lower prices at the gas station.

I don't believe that this is serious and if it is, congress has no right to order a private company to charge less for its product/service. It's capitalism people. A company has the right to charge someone whatever it wants. If you don't like the price, don't buy it. I feel this way even though I am not happy with the high prices.
