For those of you who rant and rave about the oil companies, why not ask why the government doesn't reduce fuel taxes when fuel prices go nuts due to supply/demand issues?

If everyone thinks things are bad now with gas prices, just wait until the impact of high diesel fuel costs on the truck transport of goods hits.

And if you live on the East Coast, most of the electricity is generated by burning diesel and electric demand skyrockets in summer...
