Why aren't there lines waiting to buy bottled WATER at $1.00 (or more) for
SIXTEEN OUNCES??? Milk is well over $3 per gallon. It costs MUCH more to
produce a gallon of gas than a gallon of milk. Or water. Plus, no one
complains about it.

With the limited refining capacity, due to the environmentalists not
allowing any new refineries to be built, yet we have increased demand, to
produce heating oil in sufficient quanity, some gasoline production has to
shut down and switch to fuel oil. Add to that reserves being at their lowest
since 1975, and you have the classic supply and demand issue.
