Guys, guys, hate to dissappoint you, but gasoline is a mere commodity, and the price of any commodity is based on supply and demand, and there's huge competition among producers of it... it is as cheap as it can be under present circumstances.

Here are the present circumstances: Demand has been creeping back up some as the Summer driving season is now upon us, but, as one who works in the realm of investment, I can tell you the real reason gas is rising so far, so fast, has everything to do with excessive govt spending, the huge run-up in the govt spending deficit in relation to its tax take income, resulting in the massive creation of new "money" to pay its bills, which always results in inflation.

Gas prices are inflating because, all around the world, oil, and its products, such as gasoline, are denominated in US dollars, but there are now so many "new" US dollars being flooded unto the world economy by our govt, they are devaluing all the other $ that were already in existence, hence inflation, the requirement of more dollars to pay for the same amount of product or service.

What you are experiencing is the beginning of the massive inflation we are all going to experience in the price of everything going forward. It is now unavoidable.

Our beloved President has already caused the spending, expansion of govt, and the explosion of the budget deficit to exceed that of all the previous presidents combined.

Don't believe me if you don't want to, but just watch what happens to the price of gold as the confirmation of all I have just stated above.
