Oil prices today: $115.83 a barrel
Gas prices today: $5.01 a gallon
Oil prices in April of 2008: $116.50
Gas prices in April of 2008: $3.51 a gallon
Gas prices are $1.50 a gallon higher than they should be because of the greed of big oil. It's time for a windfall profits tax.

Gas is over $5 a gallon right now.
The last time a barrel of crude oil cost this much was in July 2014. At that point a gallon of gas only cost about $3.54.
Let’s be clear: Oil companies don’t need to be charging this much for gas. They’re just doing it to make excess profits.
