Gas goes up a dollar because of some skirmish,,,, oh ok its supply and demand
It goes down 50 cents... Thank god it went back down (still up 50 cents)
Another skirmish.... gas goes up 75 cents
Goes back down 50 cents,,, (still up from where originally started)
People are so happy it went back down
No one will complain because its not as high as it was last week so all is right with the world
Supply and Demand doesnt matter,,, a countries contribution to production doesnt matter
MONEY matters plain and simple
Stop driving a car.Nobody is forcing you.Cars are new inventions of 100 years or so.Man has lived for tens of thousands of years without cars.Why does everybody need all the latest inventions?Keeping up with the jones huh.For local trips,ride a horse.Ride a bike.Gas is not something you need.You want it.

If Lybia only controls 2 - 4 percent of the worlds Oil Supply, why do gas prices go up by 18%?....
Clearly we are being taken for.
This is not a trick question, it should only go up by 2 - 4 percent and would make up for itself in the market.
Why is this happening? Who is doing it?edit on 28-3-2011 by THEDUDE86 because: (no reason given)
This country of the united states is based on capitalism.Capitalism is how people achieve the american dream.Nobody forces you to buy a good or service.If you dont like capitalism,you probably should look to another country as your place of residence.

I love your answer.....basically Go Amish....Too bad its not a good answer.....the gas is a problem i agree, but people who are screwing us for greed is also a problem.....if it wasn’t gas they would be screwing us out of something else with something else... so your solution of not driving is not much of solution really.....Greed is what needs to be corrected.edit on 28-3-2011 by THEDUDE86 because: (no reason given)

There isn’t a regulation it seems in America.....one part of the day it could be 3.50 then by the end of the day it could be 3.70.....It seems almost like if one station raises the price the others(instead of competing) just raise their prices also....not to mention some stations change the price 3 or 4 times a day
