Conspiracy Theory: Gas Prices
So back in the early 1970's there was an oil crisis. Oil costs sky-rocketed and the cost of gas went up to follow suit.
Cars at the time were big! And the engines were insanly huge gas suction machines... my favourite type...
So in response, smaller, more fuel efficent cars were created to help ease the pain.
Since the end of that crisis, it seems cars have gotten gradualy bigger and contian those same huge engines. SUV's are still a relativly new type of vehicle.
All of a sudden, the cost of oil has shot up again, it has trippled in the last 3-4 years. My theory is someone heavily invested in the automotive industry is in a position of power involving oil production.
It makes no sense, why are they purposly refining less oil?

It's not so much that they are refining less oil, so much as North Americas slice of the refined oil pie is smaller since there has been such heavy and rapid industrialization of small countries (maybe you've heard of them... India and China... China has (so I've heard) tripled the number of vehicles in the country in the last decade)...
Combined with a Leader who is making a habit of putting any middle east stability into jepordy every time he opens his mouth...
