Cassiopeia there are only a half dozen or so oil companys that own and run the industry, from pumping it out of the ground to pumping it in to your car. We have a Phillips storage depot about 30 miles away and you can see trucks from almost every gas station filling their tanks up there. The oil companies have even set the amount of oil to be pumped out of the ground. Back in the '70s they told us we would run out of crude oil in 20 to 30 years, yet today we are pumping more oil out of the ground than ever before and they tell us we have at lease 50 years more of oil. They want you to drive those SUV's so that they can fill their pockets.
