QUOTE(justdrive914 @ Sep 12 2008, 08:01 PM)  That's easy. A bazillion people in this country drive SUV's and huge trucks creating a huge demand for gas. When the market gets tight prices go up. When gas prices went sky high Americans started cutting back and the fuel prices dropped in a short period. Reduce consumption and the prices will continue to drop. When demand increases the prices will rise. A surplus means prices drop, it's an easy concept. I'm sure I'll get flamed but we are the biggest abusers of energy in the world and we have this coming and we deserve it. Nobody learned from the 70's......and I admit I am as bad as the rest (except I do drive a Prius) It's like telling people there is a water shortage. They turn on the tap and say there is plenty of water. They won't conserve until no water comes out of the tap ......and the same will be for gas. Americans won't conserve on their own because it is the right thing to do. They will only conserve when the price gets too high or there is none left..........sorry to speak the truth Travel to other countries. In many it is illegal to run their home heater during certain times of the year. Are we spoiled or are they over regulated? |
