Someone wrote an editorial cartoon -
Day 1 - gas sign reads $.80; Iraq invades Kuwait
Day 2 - gas sign reads $.98; gas goes up
Day 4 - gas sign reads $.98; the oil companies say that they are not greedy,
but that they have to sell gas at their replacement costs when oil goes up
Day 6 - gas sign reads $.98; OPEC opens reserves to offset changes in
production
Day 7 - gas sign reads $.98;
Day 20 - gas sign reads $.98;
Day 30 - gas sign reads $.98;
Day 60 - gas sign reads $.98; See Day 4.
