Yea, right - supply and demand. That only works when there's COMPETITION!
We've allowed the oil companies to merge into one mega-conglomerate (ala Standard Oil) and they're driving pump prices through the roof.
An oil man is in the oval office, and come on - do you really think the Democrats are any better? They're all in the pockets of big business, and we're all getting screwed...

firstly...your american so don't have high gas prices. Compared to the rest of the world you get it very very cheap.
second..hmm wars in oil producing countries and regions tend to make prices go up. especially commodities such as oil and then of course theres the china effect. China and other rapidly growing countries are buying more oil and materials making them more expensive.
You could just buy a sensible car..

And it's going to get worse! The oil companies sell it on supply and demand. Since the demand is higher during nicer weather and war or police action the fuel usage doubles due to these nuances. AKA price monkey comes out to play.
