LOL. Now I know just how seriously to take your "theories". Energy companies have nearly identical cost structures, resulting in very similar marketing strategies. But don't let that stop you from spreading FUD. "Gas prices jumped 2 cents, it's a conspiracy!!1?11?eleven!!?!?"

Indeed. The first is the realm of conspiracy theorists, the second is the realm of reality.
