Question

Why Does The Cost Of Gas Keep Rising?

Answer 1

Simple. Since our country is so greedy and stupid, we demand oil from foreign countries. Therefore, it gets more and more expensive for these oil companies to keep digging out the oil and ship it to the U.S. It's not costing the foreigners much, but they know they can make a bargain since the U.S. wont get their own oil, and so they raise the price for the U.S. to purchase the oil. Then when it comes down to the gas stations, they have to raise the prices so they too can make a bargain from the slumping oil prices.

Really, we have so much oil in our country that it can last us hundreds of years to come. You can pretty much blame the enviornmentalists on this one too. They won't let us dig, and yet we listen to them. They are s******g up the economy and they will regret it in the future.

Hope you understand this better.

Answer 2

It all started with the USA economy being weak (weak economy = weak dollar).

But most of recent rise is all due to WALL STREET SPECULATION (Wall Street GREED).

Good Luck...

P.S.  It is no longer because of supply and demand.

Answer 3

Simply because of the weak dollar, rising demand from China and India, as well as speculative trading.  Oil drilling in US habitat preserves is easily the dumbest idea.  We have nowhere near the amount of oil as in the Middle East, and at most our prices would be effected by ~30 cents.  No, they wont regret it in 25 years because oil wont be in such high demand when we switch our infrastructure to electric/hydrogen.  I actually pray prices keep rising, so I can stop paying for the terrorists' weapons that are you to kill our soldiers.  Its the fault of those who bought SUV's when they did not need them, and they are the ones making the most noise for their dumb mistake.  Sorry about the rant but I felt the need to add an enlightened perspective, hope this helps.

Answer 7

Since the liberals don't want us drilling in Alaska, or any other rare habitats in the states,  the middle east has us by the nostrils. They can pretty much charge whatever they want, & we have very little choice but to pay.  That's what I heard anyway.
