The president defended the rise in gas prices on his watch by saying prices were low because the economy was collapsing. What does this mean if we apply his model?
I miss the days when I was a kid and gas was 25 cents a gallon.
Start an oil company
Good luck with that. Hence, not a real free market.

I'm just pissed my car doesn't run on bananas peels yet.
Ah, so oil companies should put billions on the line just to be told what the 'market' value of their fuel is?
Anything is possible, guys brew and manufacture and sell their own bio-diesel. Price still isn't $1/gallon though. What about spring water, milk, soda, coffee, beer, bread, etc, etc, etc. All have a far easier cost of entry (business wise) yet you don't see comment after comment about how they are over-priced and "big-soda" squashing the little guys? I realize its not a direct comparison but more people survive on bread and water than gasoline... why is it that our society complains about one yet embraces the other?
I remember in high school I saw it hit .99/gal! Those were the days.
....big oil was still profiting billions every QUARTER...
So did nearly every major auto manufacture, every cell phone related company, health-care companies, etc. So what is fair return on investment for a company? Why don't we see people calling Verizon and Ford robbers for doing what they are in business to do, make money?
I'm not advocating the oil companies are do-no-evil, rather that I find it funny we are so willing to 'overpay' on some things but cheap gasoline comes across as a 'right' to some?
