exactly! but if the US was stealing oil from countries weve "attacked" in the middle-east then we would have a larger supply of crude oil, thus (according to the law of supply and demand) have lower gasoline prices. while companies can sell gas at any price they please, if they want to stay in business they will be competetive and sell it as low as possible (while still making a nice little profit of course).
