It seems to be one of those great mysteries of American life -- why does a gallon of gas cost the price it does? Sometimes we think we have a rough idea why: that it's tied to some nexus of Middle East politics and turmoil, oil company greed, and supply-and-demand. But is there more to it than that? And who is really pocketing the most from the profits?
We'll ask all those questions, and even hear about how some consumers believe it should cost even more than it does.
Featuring:David Strom, president of the Minnesota Free Market Institute
