An interesting thread. If nothing else, it certainly shows that there is a lot of information out there about why fuel is the price it is. Some of the information is even true! But it's really difficult to tell what's true and partially true from what isn't. And that's a problem.
I've worked for oil companies in Houston, Calgary, White Plains, and yes, even Sugar Land... it's also difficult for even an insider to get a representative big picture. But at the end of the day,if you owned an oil company, what would you do? Operate like a charity, so everyone can afford to buy your product at will and use as much as they please? Because that is what asking the guvmint to step in to spank these "greedy" oil companies and get them to lower prices really means.

Prices will continue to go up per unit of oil-based anything. I'd bet on that...
