So, if you notice the recent gasoline price, it is up again. We knew that we don't like high price for everything. But it seems this problem related to the value of U.S. dollars. While our government overspend the money, and keep on printing the money, the value of U.S. dollars just keep on going down. The import products comparably going high. Hopefully, the currency exchange can be adjusted in the near future. So, everyone just hang in there, we still waiting for the economy recovery.

i don't know, also here in Italy the price of gasoline has started to grow, here a liter of noral gasoline is 1,35 € a bit more than 2,00$. it's too higt, so when i need to buy fuel i go to swiss, it's near my city so i can go there easly, there the gasoline cost is only 1,04€ and i can save 0,31€ on each liter of gasoline, a very good thing, with 20 euro i can get 5 liter more than here.

But, in Europe, they only use compact cars, the smaller size type of car, don't they? In comparison to the U.S. market, we still use those bigger than compact cars, and the gasoline consumption is humongeous. I hope that our gas price will be controlled.

I am really wondering if there is going to be an Economic recovery, and when? I know there are still many people loosing jobs and homes all of the time still and all we do is continue to see everything continue to go up. The only thing good about when Gas prices go up is the manufacturers of the Gas Companies make Big profits. It makes NO sense when the Economy is down for everything, especially Gas to continue to rise. When will it ever end?

One of the reasons that gas goes up is the growing demand from countries like India and China. If our government would let the oil companies drill in Alaska and the gulf and stop looking at them like they are the bad guys we wouldn't have this problem. Just my opinion.
