CNN:

"Which of the following statements comes closer to your views about the reasons for the recent price increase in gasoline? It is MOSTLY due to unethical behavior by people involved in the production and distribution of gasoline. Or, It is MOSTLY due to a decrease in the supply of oil and an increase in demand for it."
