They get the consumer every way that they can. Gas prices shoot up. Ok, let's create a gas that has more ethanol which will be good for the envirement and should cut down somewhat on total gas consumption which should eventually help to lower gas prices somewhat. Well how do they make ethanol? From Milk and / or Corn. They also can use a certain grade of pure sugar. And what happens? The cost of milk goes up. The cost of corn goes up. The cost of sugar goes up. So no matter what bullshit idea they come up with, somewhere, somehow, it winds up costing the average consumer anyway. Their ideas always seem to get money back into the corporation pockets. Throw in the fact that the foreign countries that we get our oil from are manipulating us in any way that they can, and then add in that the oil companies shut down their refineries for maintainance repairs going into a time of the year when gas demand is at it's highest, and we get screwed all around.
