Do you guys think that the increased popularity of Hybrid cars plays a part in the incline of gas prices?

Question

It seems kinda logical. Less demand for gas means less money for the gas company. In order to make more money, increase the gas prices might have been the answer for them.

Answer 1

Less demand would mean huge inventory of unsold gas. No such inventory exists, in fact the gas supply is pretty tight. So no I dont agree with you.

Answer 2

Yes, I agree with you.  There's no real evidence that we have a limited supply.  I think all of that is a hoax to raise gas prices and keep 'em rising!

Answer 3

One problem......demand isn't down. It's true that in the US demand has slowed, but China and India have and still are keeping oil in high demand. The only people that are telling us that demand is down is the news media.
