Can anyone in the world explain by gas prices are so high?

Hello,
I just think it is down right pathetic to be honest, and it is just a way to make more money. I mean come on gas stations has to be the number one money makers around. Look at it this way you, don't pay for gas you don't go anywhere. Do you notice how in particur gas prices goes up during the summer months? That is because do the most traveling during the summer,so they figure they raise the gas prices the more they will be paid, it is a shame but that is how thingts are set up these days. Oh I forgot to mention earlier on that gas is $2.90 where I live.
Happy My Lotting!

It is about greed and the stock market which politicians are heavily invested in one being oil. If Oil prices climb they make more money, they don't care about the rest of us. As to the person from the UK yeah you have high prices too but you have a better health system, higher wages and you don't drive as far and you have a terrific public transportation system. None of which we have here in the USA. People are losing jobs here and many are NOT going on vacation or traveling except those with incomes over $35,000. The elderly and large families and poor are not making it as it is. Obama and the rest better do something. We in USA are NO LONGER UNITED. IF EVERY employed person refused to drive or go to work just ONE day or two or three the gas prices would come down. Employers cannot fire everyone. They would scream. Or if most would NOT buy gas for a whole week. They would come down. It has to be a chain reaction for them to get the message. Enough have to say NO not anymore. Don't go to work, don't drive, don't buy gas, stay home. Send a message. The reason is pure greed. There is plenty of oil and more for years into the future. As to driving other cars how about we all go back to horse and buggy that would take care of a lot of problems world wide. Pollution, Ozone, Enviroment, Social life and more, health, more people would exercise. But well we know that is not going to happen. The government thinks carpooling or taking the bus is the answer. They have their head in the sand. USA is primarly rural with some large city tracts. But lots of people live rural. No public transportation available and most cannot car pool due to different work places, locations and schedules. It is unrealistic but they think it is real. They have nor clue. The lawmakers don't get it at all.

One of my friends who get a ride with to and from work was lamenting the same thing here just yesterday.


Motorist are paying nearly $80 Jamaican dollars per litre of oil(really less than US$1 at the moment). We keep on hearing about an increase in the US Golf reference price (or something to that effect) and that always spells bad news for us.

In addition to that we are now paying a gas tax which adds to the increase in gas prices.

I do not undersand it all but gas prices here are certainly climbing steadly back to the price we were paying when we were facing a worldwide crisis.

May be source pf gas now its hard to find. and the demand is increasing every year as the population is increase very fast. so i think people now must think for alternative way source of energy not only in gas
