In the last couple of weeks, gas here dropped to around $2.17 /gallon from around $2.40 a month or so ago. On my way to work I saw that not only did it go up 12 cents from 2-3 days ago to yesterday, but from yesterday to today another 10 cent increase to $2.39.

So i google to see why gas prices are going up and here is a blurb from the article I find on MSNBC...

"While crude demand hasn't rebounded yet, traders have begun to have more faith that consumption will eventually pick up. "
Why should we pay higher gas prices based on what some random douchebags think and not on actual factors like demand? Sorry to the people in europe that pay $2.40 / litre : ) I'm american !
