What's going to happen to gas prices?

Question

I'm really scared that no one is going to be able to afford it and we'll end up riding bikes.

Can we run cars on anything else other than oil?

Answer 1

Hydrogene, way expensive.

Solar panes, expensive, large area for little energy.

what will happen is that one country will step up to make alot of oil.

Answer 2

im not sure, but i had this dream last night and it was so scary! it was about gas prices and they went up extremely high and everybody who wasn't filfthy rich had a crummy car that had good gas mileage.

it was horrible!

Answer 3

The wealthy will own the world.  They will own everything including the people.  That is unless we wise up and stop them now.  Vote them out of office.  Cut big business down to size.  We have anti monopoly laws on the book, When are we going to enforce them.  Our forefathers knew very well the pitfalls of the wealthy owning and running everything.  They faught a war to get away from it.  Now we are allowing it to take over our lives again.

Answer 4

I doubt that people will end up not being able to afford it, ours costs twice as much in the UK, so it would have to skyrocket before no one could afford it, and that's doubtful.

There are hybrid cars which use both electricity and petrol, and there are some electric cars, but unless you drive everywhere at 20mph you won't save much fuel in a hybrid, and the few electric cars on the market are very slow, small and don't cover much distance between charges.

Answer 5

we can use sun power :)

Answer 6

maglev passenger trains cheaper but you walk to a station first

Answer 7

people are actually making solar powered cars. and some are making water powered cars too that make use of the hydrogen in it. my prediction for the gas prices is that it will keep going up until all of us will learn to be more concerned and conservative about the issues going on.

Answer 8

So ride a bike! It's not that bad... Would help the obesity epidemic as a beneficial side effect!

Answer 9

Steam Engines would be the best bet. Prices will go higher because we've reached "Peak Oil" (We've used over half of the oil that ever was) We're running out, so prices will continue to rise until it's all gone. Life can change pretty fast, eh?

Answer 10

going up

Answer 11
