"The executives represented five major companies that, along with their global parent corporations, earned more than $32.8 billion during the July-September quarter. Consumers, meanwhile, saw gasoline prices soar beyond $3 a gallon in the aftermath of supply disruptions caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita."

Way down, in August and September it was like $1.30. I would imagine it's just supply and demand. When the prices were high people cut way back in their use so lower prices were actually making more money in the long run.

Why, where do you live that it would be more than that? If you're in the US, this is litres not gallons. A gallon is around 4 litres, US has it so cheap.

A huge increase in prices is very likely to be a result of collusion on the part of the companies, which (correct me if I'm wrong) is illegal in most countries.
