There are several reasons, some are:
The BP pipe has been partially shut down, resulting in 8% less available for the U.S
The war(s)
The companies want to make money
The destruction from Hurricane Katrina
There are several reasons and they vary by country. For more information you can look at several news websites (CNN, BBC, etc) or even check out the stock market.

There is great demand for it all over the world. The less of it there is, the more expensive it becomes. But the prices are just ridiculous right now...

Uhh.Prices, you mean? Shortage in supply? If by gas you mean petrol, because OPEC controls it and wants to keep prices high so they earn profits.
