$5 a gallon gas? We've had it for years!

Here in Canada, we've had gasoline at over $5 a gallon for a long time, and this in spite of having our own sources that could provide us with a much cheaper product, except for greed, and 'world market conditions'.  They've always got a glib excuse for charging everything the market will bear. And the last gallon of gasoline on the planet will probably be found in the tank of a Rolls Royce located somewhere in Kuwait or the Emirates. But you and I will be long gone by then.
