Because the oil companies need to make more billions. And so they can payoff George W Bush.
I think its time to take gas prices out of the speculative markets and make it managed through government control. Even though I hate government control! We need this because with our current dependence on oil, its become as necessary as a utility, just like electricity. Also, we need much more funding on alternative fuel research, subsidies so lower income folk can buy cars like the Prius.

Texas has cheap gas. Here in California the average is $3.10 more or less. Don't complain, it could be worse. Do you know how much people in Europe and Canada pay for that juice? In the near future we will be paying those prices here in the U.S. and we will be wishing we could still be paying the prices that we are paying right now. I hate paying for it buy hey, we don't have a choice if want to keep driving our cars.

If you think it's expensive down there...
Don't come up north! $3.15/gallon!!!
I hate it. Especially because traffic gets so bad that it takes up a tank every 4 days!!!!
I'm originally from the Valley of Texas and to see gas prices this high is absurd.

Contrary to what all the "experts" here, who only want to point fingers and blame somebody, think, this is really due to a very complicated set of economic, regulatory, and other factors beyond any one person's control. I mean, if it were easy to solve and one person could solve it, wouldn't he have an economic incentive to solve it?
There is a guy in Waco Texas who is a Phd named Ray Perryman, who did what I thought was an excellent write-up on this in the May 2006 edition of his newsletter, called "The Perryman Report." I suspect if you did an Internet search, you could probably find an excerpt of it or, if you are really interested, find a way to order this specific copy of his newsletter.
