Welcome to our website!  With our products and resources, you can tell the world (and your congressperson) that you are sick of the soaring fuel prices...the "gas gouging"!

-With gas prices roaring past $3 a gallon in some areas and consumer fury rising even faster, Congress and the White House are engaged in a Kabuki-like ritual: pointing fingers at each other over who's to blame, while furiously attacking Big Oil for reaping gargantuan profits - as drivers get hosed at the pump.
If the politicians really want to figure out who's responsible for the latest round of price increases, though, they'd be better off looking in the mirror. That's because the rise isn't only due to higher crude costs. It's also fallout from some little-noticed provisions in the energy bill passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bush last summer.
Buried in the 551-page energy bill - which was supposed to ease energy shortages, not worsen them - were new regulations governing what additives go into gasoline and how it's refined. Corn-based ethanol is replacing the petroleum-derived additive MTBE, but Congress timed this logistically tricky switchover to occur just as demand for gasoline peaked ahead of the summer driving season - right about now.  The end result is an extra strain on the refining and distribution system when it can least afford it.

-Oil companies are tallying record-high profits.  Their execs are cashing in too.  ExxonMobil recently disclosed that Lee Raymond, who retired as its CEO in January 2006 earned $69.7 million - $190,000 A DAY - in 2005.

-Exxon Mobil Corp., the world's largest oil company, said that higher oil prices drove first-quarter profits up 7% from the prior year. Net income rose to $8.4 billion, or $1.37 per share, for the January-March period from $7.86 billion, or $1.22 per share, a year ago.
