Bad analagy.... when 4th of July comes around there is a increase in demand for hot dogs. Do the prices rise since the demand rose? No, the prices are dropped due to the demand.

Gas companies work opposite of that. In my view.
If the supply of hot dogs was low, or the manufacturers witheld supply, or raised their prices with fluctuations in the market.. then yes, the price of hotdogs would increase on the 4th of July.

To make a difference, we must start refining our own fuel. Buy crude oil, and refine it ourselves. Cut out the middle-man.
