What a year it has been for gas and oil. What a past few years for that matter. Corporate profit records have been shattered while the individual’s bank account has been decimated. Commodity traders have become instant millionaires and the average commuter has had to trade in their vehicle at a loss for a [...]

As I was driving through town, I noticed something in the distance gleaming in the morning sky. It was a gas station’s digital sign proudly displaying the figure $1.999 for a single gallon of gasoline.
