What do you think about the Gas Prices?

Ok I have two different questions but yet in the same category.. First question first.. Gas than propane... I am just wondering what you people think about the gas prices? About 3 weeks ago gas was done little over $3.00 like $3.05 now it's sitting at $3.49 a gallon where I am at anyway.. Two days ago I went to order some propane and the price is $1.69 a gallon which isn't bad at all but my total is $845.00 for 500 gallons I need it to heat water/house with.. Why is propane cheaper than regular gas for a car or a truck?

from where i am, the prices of both are almost the same, but price regulation of propane here is more strict than gas, i think they consider propane basic commodity

Really, People have told me the US is running out of gas ha ha I don't think so thats why the prices are so high. Sorry but I don't believe that for a second it mainly has to do with the war that is happening and thats why the prices are sky high. Truthfully I personally think it's uncalled for.. Thank you for your reply!

i notice you from usa, here in australia the price of petrol can vary... but on avarage it is around Aus $1.30 per litre... that's about $5.00 a gallon so i think we are all on a leash as far far as petrol companies go

I think it's all a conspiracy...have you noticed how the price always seems to go up on Friday...people's pay day...when people usually buy their gas.

Yeah and I think you are right on that kinda seems like every two weeks it happens.. I don't understand though why the gas prices go up but the heating cost propane don't.. Doesn't that seem a bit strange?
