Funny how gas prices have stabilised (actually finally going down in US) but airlines are still increasing fuel surcharges. No government supervision so they are doing whatever they want to, without having to worry about any repurcussions.

Taxes and fuel surcharges for LOS were $60 in 2001, $192 in 2006, $292 in 2007, and they can add them whenever they want to.
