Oil($130/ barrel) has risen 6-fold since 2002

Oil prices, now $130 a barrel, have risen six-fold since 2002.

compared to the 70's. this price increase is nothing. With inflation, oil during the embargo would have 6.00 dollars. Also, 4 dollars a gallon really isnt that much for fuel, considering what other nations pay. And for my final point, GASOLINE IS A PRODUCT PRODUCED BY COMPANIES. THE GOVERNMEN CANNOT CHANGE THE PRICE OF OIL WITHOUT VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION. Sry for CRUISING.
