So u buy a car that uses less gas. But the cost of gas goes up is this a knee jerk reaction from the oil comps

I mean what is your reaction. Is the current price of gas due to "off line" oil refineries? Or is it because with people buying cars that use less gas the oil companies have to get their share reguardless. Or are we the cause of our own fuel terrorism by pi**ing off countries like Iran, Venezuela and Iraq who are part of the Opec organization. Thanks.
