Letter to the Editor

Submitted by admin on Wed, 08/19/2015 - 8:43am

<strong>Dear Editor:</strong>
The petroleum industry would like you to believe that the recent $1.00 gasoline price spike is due to a problem at one refinery and is a rare occurrence affecting what is normally a “free market” system. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Because America has not built an oil refinery since 1977, the oil companies are able to manipulate prices by holding back production of refined petroleum products pretty much anytime they want.
