In an update to yesterday's post, Senator Charles Schumercalled today for a probe into whether or not big oil companies were in collusion and withholding supplies in an effort to drive up prices.
The average price of gasoline has jumped up to $2.79 (although it was $2.29 here while I was driving home from work this evening).
Frankly speaking, I highly doubt that an investigation like this will go anywhere - especially when we have two ex-oil executives running the country. In the mean time, I'm still looking for a great deal on a Prius.
