I live in California. The gas prices are reaching $5, and are still rising. I was wondering what are some of the gas prices around the world. Are they higher, or lower than the prices here?
$5 a gallon, not liter

I am confused whenever oil prices rise or even some news event predicts it like a ( pipe line bombing strike hurricane etc etc ) gas prices skyrockets with hours.

Yet now that oil has finally corrected somewhat gas prices are flat. Aside from criminal gouching what explains this and can it be fixed

Plain White T’s Fan asked:


Is it because of the war in Iraq? Or just because the companies can make them pricey? Or maybe President Bush? Please explain. My mom and I were driving to get some gas today and she was complaining about the prices. Help please!
Is the world really running out of gas? I am only 13, so please try to break the scary big words down for me. Will we have to walk or use bikes if we run out of gas?

ann h asked:


Do you ever wonder how the cook at Mcdonalds, or the clerk at Walgreens are even able to get to work everyday with gas prices being so exhorbitant ? Why are gas prices over a dollar more than they were a year ago? Who do you think is the main culprit behind these exhorbitant prices? Opec, the Oil Companies, the Bush adminstration?

Chuck M asked:


Gas prices were $4.00+ a gallon just a few months ago in the United States. The price is now under $2.00 a gallon. What is the reason behind this drastic decrease in price in such a short period of time?

wingworm asked:


With gas prices nearing $4.00/gallon at this rate do you think it’ll hit $10.00/gallon within a few years?How do you feel about all this?Do you think that its just price gouging that is going on?

rainyinferno asked:


I heard earlier today that the hurricanes that are hitting now and currently approaching are going for Texas and other places where they have alot of the oil for gas. Is it going to make prices jump again?

Thanks

Couldn’t they move closer to work?

Use public transportation, walk or bike?

Buy a more fuel efficient vehicle?

If they took low gas prices for granted don’t they mostly have themselves to blame?

Nicole asked:


Seriously, isn’t it eventually going to get to the point where our entire economy will just fall apart if gas prices keep rising the way they are? What is the future plan? I worry every time I have to hit the pump and it takes out a huge chunk of my paycheck. Some people probably can’t even afford to drive to work any more! And now these insane fees for luggage on airlines. I know I’m not the only one hurting. When will the madness end and how?
