>>So who's the architect of the fuel price increase... It's those who are mindlessly plunging us into seemingly inevitable war with a 3rd middle east country. (can anyone say quagmire?) Oil is a commodities market and commodity's prices reflect perception of stability and availability. Bring back stability and prices will come down. Continue the shooting, shouting and illegal embargoes and prices will continue to escalate.

A 15% increase in gas price triggers a 300% panic reaction, and a billion dollar shopping spree for a more fuel efficient vehicle. It's sort of a forced upgrade by no longer supporting previous versions. So who's the architect of the fuel price increase, the oil producers' stockholders, or the auto industry? Rhetorical question.
