Answer 2

Duh!!  Look who is our president!!

Answer 3

thank George W. Bush  as that is why he started the war in the middle east ( to control oil prices and yes it does not have nothing to do with nuclear or biological weapons that was just a cheap excuse )

all those people dying just so he cam have more control over world oil prices . . . is it worth it?

most countries around the world are getting sick of the usa bullying other countries around so most did not back usa in the last few wars they started ( or reluctantly backed usa )

Answer 4

It's the paranoid traders in New York City who decide the price.  If Iran and Venezuela keep pumping in bad news, the traders are going to jack up the price.

Supply is not the issue.

Answer 5

They want our money real bad just because they are trying to run the entire planet. whoever conrols at least 2/3 of the worlds oil basicly controls the world. if you dont believe me read the book called THE GRAND CHESSBOARD.

But I hope everyone repents to Jesus soon because when Christ returns thats when it will get better. Yes there is a higher power and it is Jesus Christ.

Answer 6

Supply and demand. The supply is down and the demand is up.

We get most of our oil from the middle east. They control how much oil they produce and sell to us. The less oil they produce compared to the high demand = High price.

If they reduce the supply enough. They could send the price of gas higher and higher. We depend on their oil. We need to find way to do without their oil!

Answer 7

Because the Arab nations have come to realize that they cannot hope to overcome us in a physical conflict so they are engaging in an economic battle to bring us down.  That and the fact that with India and China actively competing for finite petroleum resources, prices are going to increase - basic supply and demand.

Answer 8

1. Oil companies realize people will pay for gas despite the cost.

2. We are running out of natural resources.

3. Our economy is c**p.
