You should have bought oil and commodity stocks in your 401K or  personal 
portfolio.  The profits that I have made are WAY more  than the increased cost 
of 
my gas and heating oil.

ARE US  oil companies drilling on the leases they have in the Gulf or land,  
NO!
Have they built any new refineries in the past 25 years, NO!
Why  is EXXON MOBIL getting out of the service station bussiness TOO LITTLE  
PROFIT!
FOREIGN countries are drilling in INTERNATIONAL WATERS off our  coast, don't 
you think US companies do that to them, no I forgot we only  screw ourselves 
like horazontal drilling into some other US oil company's  proven lease.
The oil companies HAD the business and they COULD if they  wanted to
MOST OF THE OIL THEY REFINE IS FROM THEIR OWN  WELLS
WHY do you THINK they have LARGE (changed my wording for  you) PROFITS
NOTE RUSSIA the goverment takes all the money  over $25 a barrel.

I use approx 500 gallons a year attached is a  spreadsheet  its easy to use I 
have redused driving the Porsche and  Ferrari to 500 miles a year each and 
mowing every 2 weeks. I can afford up  to $20 a gallon when I retired in 1998 
gasoline was $1.00 a gallon. In  2005 at Indy for the USGP I paid $1.69.

In 1986 in Germay when I picked  up my Porsche gasoline was a $1 a liter 
there.

It is amazing how  much oil effects our economy everything goes up but my 
pension  :-)
