Gas prices are rising due to the rise in the price of crude oil.\n\nThe price of West Texas Light Crude rose to over $70 a barrel on the international market, although it has now fallen to $69.63. The price of Light Crude tends to be higher than other Crude Oil prices because it contains less sulphur. This reduces the refining costs involved with making petrol that conforms to the environmental standards in the US and Europe.\n\nAlthough OPEC and other Oil producing countries have increased production of oil, the demand is outstripping the supply.\n\nThe economy in China is growing fast and as the masses enjoy more disposable income, they buy cars which in turn require more oil.\n\nThe Indian economy is also getting stronger and they too are buying more oil.\n\nA further complication that adds to the demand is the lack of refineries. The efficient refineries are operating at almost full capacity which means that less efficient plants are being pressed into service. The problems in obtaining refined product places further pressure on demand side prices.\n\nOn the supply side, there are political uncertainties in a number of big oil producing countries. Such uncertainties cause problems within the supply chain and cause prices to increase.\n\nOPEC cannot produce enough extra oil to satisfy the extra demand.\n\nIn the past, Russia could be relied upon to pump extra oil. However, Russia is busily re-nationalising Oil Production (e.g. The recent Yukos case). This means that Oil production in Russia has fallen away from 2004 levels. Although Russia has huge reserves, it will be a while before production starts to grow again and so they cannot be relied upon to meet the extra demand. \n\nVenezuela is having a little spat with US Oil companies. Go Venezuela! Unfortunately, this is also effecting supply. \n\nNigeria, well is Nigeria. However, the locals are not happy with the way that oil companies operate and have taken to protesting over the way their land is being poluted. Local bandits and industrial unrest all combine to threaten oil supply.\n\nThen there is Iran which is in dispute with the west over Uranium enrichment.\n\nWhenever demand outstrips supply, speculators get involved. The US leads the way in commodity speculation. With continual upward pressure on the price of oil, speculators are having a field day.\n\nThe complication that the US has brought to speculation factor is the invention of 'virtual speculation'. These are speculators who speculate on the commodity speculators. This in turn causes prices to fluctuate more wildly and pushes prices even higher in a rising market or lower in a falling market.\n\nThe only way to improve the situation would be to either increase supply or reduce demand.\n\nIncreasing supply will take many years to be effective.\n\nTherefore the only way to reduce prices is to reduce demand. So, if everyone used less fuel the prices would fall.\n\nTime to dust off your old pedal cycle?

Fuel prices are set by OPEC (price per barrel.)  They are most reasonable in the US because our government subsidizes what we pay.  OPEC sucks, they won't allow any other petrol-bearing nations to offer a lesser fee.  They are too powerful.

the US gets it's oil from  OPEC ( Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countires). This includes Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and many other middle eastern countires. \nSOme of the oil does come from the south ( texas for example). As to prices google it.

As I recall, the price went to about .75 to .85 per gallon.  This was about the time I went off to college and I remember thinking how hard it was going to be to make my $ stretch.

we were lied to.\n\nWhat is the price of gasoline today?  Who is making record profits from these prices?(not me)\n\nSeems pretty silly to have investigated Clinton's Whitewater losses when you look at Haliburton's gains.....

Right now, Exxon at 355B is edging out GE at 345B.  You can use Yahoo's stock screener to get a general idea of the top ones in terms of market cap.

The basic concept is here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5365439\n\nThe paragraph under "Then who sets the prices?"\n\nCrude oil spot prices are here: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/twip/twip_crude.html\n\nGas prices are here:\nhttp://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/twip/twip_gasoline.html\n\nGas prices are basically following the crude minus the Katrina killing of some refineries that needed to be repaired so that's probably the spike.\n\nThis is our daily usage:\nhttp://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/twip/twip_crude.html#inputs\n\nAbout 15 million barrels of crude oil per day now.  It also shows the Gulf Coast's major tank in production like I mentioned earlier around Nov '05.\n\nYou are correct that drilling in Alaska would probably not affect prices that much.  How much?  We don't know.\n\nThere's an article about it here: http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2005-11-03-senate-oil_x.htm\n\nUnfortunately, I don't have the DOE study handy.  Maybe you can find it for your purposes here. :)\n\nFor the actual price of crude oil, demand doesn't have to double in order for price to spike up double.  All it really takes is the minds of the traders on the futures market that something political or whatever is going on.  They are the main ones who set the prices that are used worldwide.\n\nOur net imports of oil have grown past 60% and are steadily rising every year: http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/mer/pdf/pages/sec1_15.pdf\n\nOne of the points touched on was worldwide demand, including India and China.  They are definitely demanding more and more each year: http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/ipsr/t24.xls\n\nIt's slow but it's increasing.  How much this affects prices is unknown.  Predicting the value of the stock market in 5 years is about as easy.  No one really knows.  You have to remember that market prices are always forward looking, so it's what people think is going to happen in the future.  That's what the current price today is based on.\n\nAnd last by not least, the DOE's view on the current prices: http://www.eia.doe.gov/bookshelf/brochures/gasolinepricesprimer/eia1_2005primerM.html\n\nAnyway, this is just a bunch of raw data.  I'm sure that there are about 85 ways to look at it.  Most people here take only one side of the story, but hey, that's life on the Internet.  Have fun. :)
