Its strange when congress steps up and starts complaining about gas prices, the drop. CONGRESS WAKE UP!
Stacks, they've always been able to charge whatever they want. There are no price controls on the price of oil or gasoline. If they wanted to start charging $10 per gallon they could. It's called a free market economy.

If you started a business, would you like the government to start dictating how much money YOU could earn with your product?
