For the most part, our gas prices do not follow any sort of documented pattern. While it has been great watching prices plummet over these past couple of months, this has less to do with demand, or supply because OPEC is a protected cartel. They set the price and we pay it, or go without gas. The problem, however, is when they keep the price high people start talking about alternative sources of energy ect, like we saw during the election. This is bad for them because they rely on our dependency for oil. Consequently they begin to lower the price, but that's not to say they won't raise it again once they feel our memories have been erased, ect.
the reason the price of gas is going up is because the price of oil is rising because it now costs more to mine the oil and the oil is running out around the world
because its hard to find and we're running out
i dont know but i love creating this thing
Corporate Greed and we are running out.

= Why has the gas prices gone up and do you think its fair if it keeps going up? =
Because oil prices are going up so gas companies have to raise their prices so they can make a profit and not go bankrupt.
Because when gas prices go up, food prices also go up.
Gas prices are set by a supply and demand system. If something happens that effects that system then the price can go up or down. Gas prices will go up in the United States when a Hurricane hits the gulf of Mexico coast and the Oil processing plants and Oil rigs have to close down. The demand for the oil/gas goes up and the supply goes down so the prices go up. In a situation like the Swine flu gas prices are going down because the demand is going down while the supply is going up. As the demand for gas/oil goes up the prices will follow.
When Natural Disasters occur in an area where they have refineries

Well gas comes from oil and America does not produce enough oil to support all the things that need gas in America. So America buys alot of its oil from foreign countries. Gas prices are going up because foreign countries are increasing the price and the amount of oil is going down.

Gas prices effect families because as gas prices go up the economy is going down. This causes job losses no businesses and you may even have to give up some of your freedom to help your families.
Gas prices in 1974 in New York City were around 53 cents. Can you imagine gas going up close to $5 since 1974! Gas prices are rumored to be taking a plunge here real soon though.
purchasing and owning stocks has always been a bit of a gamble, even at the best of times. as times and finances get tenser ,basic items like food and gas skyrocket- people put more emphasis on the necessary instead of the risky,causing gas prices to go up.
