We're all pissed, but not all of the blame can be placed on them -- but I hear you loud and clear. Oil is sold on the spot market everywhere like coffee, sugar, and cocoa. The price Japan pays is the same price the Brits pay, and is the same price we pay. We import 2/3 of the oil we use and a significant portion comes from countries that our hostile to us. Oil companies do not set the price of oil.
You should be pissed like I am, but I am placing some of the blame on U.S. policy which has constructed no-drill zones all over the United States including its continental shelf; not only for oil -- but also for natural gas. You should also be mad @ OPEC since they can control the price of oil simply by controlling the amount they pump out.
