Yep ... your eyes are not deceiving you. The "base" price for gas is 2.05. Add the Fed and state taxes and it comes to 2.70(?). http://charts3.barchart.com/chart.asp?sym=RBY0&data=A&jav=adv&vol=Y&divd=Y&evnt=adv&grid=Y&code=BSTK&org=stk&fix=
$4.00 a gallon was all big unregulated speculative bet by the investment banks and funds by way of the "Commodity Modernization Act". We probably won't see that price for another 5 - 10 years !!
