Oil prices go up, gas prices go up.
Oil prices go down, gas prices go up.
Oil prices go unchanged, gas prices go up.
Thirty-four straight days of gas price increases nationwide - obviously not tied directly to oil price fluctuations.
However, as oil prices increase, gas prices will continue to rise. They can't go down.
The only solution to the riddle to is to refine more oil in America, produce more oil domestically, and raise the value of the dollar (which the fed is artifically keeping low). We need Congress to give the go ahead. The EPA does not want us to have cheaper gas. They want us to use wind, electric, and solar to power our cars.
We can't wait for future technology. We need cheaper gas now - for our cars, to transport goods to market, and for airplanes. We are about to see inflation like we haven't seen it since Jimmy Carter.
We can't have a true housing recovery until people are comfortable with their personal budgets. They need to see some stability. Inflation will hurt us all, and higher gas and oil prices are the root cause of inflation.
