Why is fuel prices so high?

Question

the cost of fuel is going to push the world back to the stone age we are all runing out of money cant keep going like this, does anyone remember why the usa had the revalution years ago well it was becouse of taxation with out repensiontation, seems like history is repeting its self

Answer 1

It my bee becuse of teh uneducatd pepol in this counrty.

R u saying that thier r other countrys then teh US in this world?

Answer 2

if your from australia i heard something about stop buying petrol from BP as it is one of the leading petrol stations in australi and if u can ge tmillions of ppl to stop ppl from buying from bP theyll be forced to drop prices, something like that, not sure if true, but some government guy said it apparently =/

EDIT : and to ur question, its bcuz there is a *short supply* of it now, which i think is a load of horse manure, i believe they are jst finding others ways to get money from us, like they always do.

and i dont think its just the USA with fuel price problems many other countries do to, so maybe it might not be the whole president thing, even tho yes he may be one of the causes.

Answer 3

Because fuel companies are so greedy

Answer 4

Because those people that give us gas wants more money. The president it on it side and he sure not doing anything with this gas prices. It just makes me mad. The oil company doesn't need alot of money they just wants us to go broke while they make the money.

Answer 5

cause our country is in debt

Answer 6

because president bush is out getting out soon so he's trying to make the most money he can and because our (US) economy is going down including housing prices and stocks...the dollar is dropping too.(that means its worth less now
