A few days ago I saw on a disscusion show one of our national economists explaining what has taken place. The oil speculators bid the oil prices up trying to coner the market .the opec countries want to sell directly to the refineries at between $ 70 and $80 a barrel (or so they say). The economist said gas should be below $2 a gallon. That would be nice but I dont ever expect to see it. ...Francis
