When are gas prices going to go down?

Question

When are gas prices going to go down?

Answer 1

When the moron Democrats stop listening to the environmentalist idiots, and allow the oil companies to drill for oil in Alaska and off the continental shelf.

The government doesn't have the solution, the oil companies can fix it, but the govnerment needs to stop meddling with ridiculous taxes and regulations the way they have for years.

Answer 2

When alternative source of energy other than fuel is recongised as cheaper and better alternative then fuel... by then fuel will be dirt cheap.

Answer 3

When people stop buying huge f*cking cars that get 8mpg just because they can.

When we develop a sufficient and efficient alternative energy source that isn't ethanol.

We are a wasteful society and we're paying for it. Oil companies know we can't live without oil so they can do whatever they want, and we'll still have to buy.

Until the demand for oil drops significantly, price will continue to rise.

Answer 4

Because less people are using it.

Answer 5

They went down about a dime today in Tulsa, OK.

Answer 6

I am soooo tired of people saying drill more, DRILL MORE!!! Idiots! That what the oil company's want you to say. We humans  are stupid to think that we will run out of oil. Do you know that there tankers filled with oil waiting off the coast line for prices to rise again, so they can sell it at a higher price.  Don't be stupid enough the believe everything the oil media tells you. All they want to do is stockpile the oil so when gas prices go back down they don't need to spend so much trying to get it out of the ground. They wanna make money too. I make money on steel, right now steel prices are ridiculously high for two reasons, the bad U.S. economy and the booming Chinese economy. When the economy is bad all raw commodities prices shoot through the roof, then add the rising Yen to dollar exchange rate, you get me scraping steel to sell to china, so I can pay for my $5 a gallon gas.

Answer 7

Contrary to popular opinion, gas prices will go down when we all act as a coordinated and self-disciplined mass of consumers and quit driving all the gas hogs that started coming out in the early '80's, beginning with the Mini-Van, and quit driving at 70+mph and quit using the AC like we can't live without them, and quit pushing the gas pedal down so hard when the light turns green or it's  your turn to go at a stop sign.  So many people like to argue that that's just not going to work "nowadays" because "things are different" than they were in the '70's when we did just all that stuff, and we suddenly had unlimited gas at a much lower price.  If you don't believe it, then you don't know about the free-market economy we're living in and you weren't alive during the first gas crisis in the '70's.  THEN we'll have done what it takes to drop the gas prices significantly, but then, a bunch of us don't have the guts to do what it takes.  "Have our cake and eat it too" is the "philosophy" that is choking us at the gas pump, and until we take things under OUR control, we'll keep paying higher and higher prices.  God Bless you.

Answer 8

When President Obama listens to the will of the American public and the Iraqi people and ends Bush's war that has tripled gas prices by destabilizing the region and disrupting supplies.

Bush/McCain's special interest buddies in the oil companies are holding America hostage with high gas prices to try to get another land grab from the American public in the name of offshore drilling.

The problem is that 80% of the oil leases that they currently hold go unused.

They could drill on the land they already have, but they would rather just pay $3/acre to keep the land fallow and try to grab more.

Isn't it bad enough that American taxpayers pay $17BILLION/year in tax subsidies to the oil companies so they can continue to charge us record prices and reap record profits?

Answer 9

when the us dollar currency go up again and stablized...
