It's not the oil companies, it's OPEC. They fix the price by how much they pump out of the ground. They are milking the world for all it's worth and there is little to be done to stop them. Of course had the USA not gone into Iraq oil prices probably be somewhere in the $60-70 and we would still be moaning about paying $2/gallon (just not as loudly).
