The places te are getting the gas from may run out and they can barely find it over here so they sale their gas for high prices to make profit and buy from other places
# could you say this was the best answer please
It is perhaps because of two main reasons: increase in vehicles and increased usage of gas worldwide.
Vehicles have increased greatly since the '80s, no doubt. There were nearly 180 million cars sold in the last three years alone, let alone add the rest of the 30 years. Also, gas has been used a lot lately. With the recent increase in factories and cars, we use more and more gas everyday.
Of course, that makes gas pretty scarce in the world (calculations have found out that we might actually run out of gas in a few hundred years or less!), and the increase of vehicles just makes us need more gas and makes things worse. So what I mean is this rule of thumb: as long as cars go up and gas goes down, prices will go up along.
Worldwide demand an a over regulated oil industry they have to make over 50 types of gas use worthless ethanol.Add that to a president that hate all fossil fuels an you will have higher prices
in uk its pretty much stopping anyone with a car doing anything but use it for work. in 1983 it was ￡1.70 gallon approx now it is ￡6.00 gallon approx $9.00
just remembered a uk gallon is 20% bigger so that's $7.20
ours keeps going up because when our government want to raise funds they increase the duty on fuel,cigarettes and alcohol. so it pretty much touches on every ones lives.
Simple. This will continue to happen as long as people vote Republican.
I can't hardly afford to go anywhere anymore because of the rising gas prices i wish it was still $0.88 like it was back in the 80s
