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.
