Question Sue OPEC?

Just an article I ran across. Sure sounds like a good idea.

97.9 a litre for regular gas here now.... for those that need to convert, that is 3.70 a us gallon (cdn) roughly $2.66 a gallon (us) (if my math is correct)
I haven't had a raise in over three years... with the cost of goods going through the roof...

The only problem I can see with sueing OPEC is that "organization" is not based on our domestic soil. Being a foreign "organization" all they would have to do is say "You sue us we will no longer provide our oil for you". Well, you can imagine where that would leave us. Besides, I GAURANTEE that they have more money for a legal team than you do.

Don't blame OPEC for the high prices, blame the greedy refiners and distributors in this country.
Ever notice when the price per barrel of crude goes down that it takes months for the fuel price to follow?

True ... but when the price of a barrel goes up, you can expect to feel the squeeze in about 5 minutes
