Answer 5

Gas recently went up due to the change in the mix with Ethanol for the cold season, plus the switch over/priority to home heating fuel refining.  Prices are set to go down in a month, maybe two.  As for $5.00?  Yeah, it will happen in most of our lifetimes here in the U.S.  How soon depends on whom you/we vote into political offices.

Answer 8

Answer 9

I know gas recently went up to $3 a gallon in ohio and people are complaining about that. It could go up to five probably depending on the income level as well.

Answer 10

Well...I know that in California it is already $4.00! I can't believe it..where I live here in Georgia it is almost $3.00! but I am commuting back and forth to college and have help with expenses which is a plus. I just wouldn't be able to believe gas being $5.00 a gallon! I really hope that future developments for substitution gasoline follows through. Then we won't be burning so many holes in our pockets! Lets keep our fingers crossed!

Answer 11

It might spike to that for a short while, but our economy cannot support that price.  Not to worry my friend, we all deal it, and it stinks.

Answer 12

who cares -- still gotta get to work -- just want my income to increase as the gas price increases -- it'll come down real sooon
