Would someone be kind enough to give little old me a synopsis on the events leading to such a huge rise in gas prices over the last 10 years?
I'm not familiar with any price gouging at the retail level after 9/11.

George Bush had/has VERY little to do with gasoline prices. Neither does Obama. About the only thing they can do to influence the price of crude is a release from the SPR or start a war.

Crude has risen (and fallen) over the ten year period. Gasoline is refined from crude oil, hence the price of gasoline is directly related to the price of crude. Crude for various reasons.
