you're just noticing now that gas prices are getting ridiculous again? Well actually they've been ridiculous for a long time now...but are spiking again it seems.
As for why, read up.
IMO they should make the price at least 5$ / gallon here, either through taxing or otherwise. It would make hybrid cars worth buying, and it would give people a reason to look into alternative transportation.

If they did it suddenly, the economy would take a massive shot to the nuts. And it probably wouldn't ask for seconds.
you can thank iveadinnerjacket and the theocracy thugs for the petrol spike.
but on the bright side, now they've "blinked" and let the 15 go the price should drop.
I read a couple days ago that the Chinese have decided to start buying all their oil in Euros instead of dollars.
Somebody please explain to me why we haven't become total allies with the Chinese yet, at any cost. We're already tied to them at the hip economically - it seems stupid to keep them at arm's length and let them buddy up with Iran and Russia (which they've already been doing).
