Gas in my area is 4.05/g and it isn't even summer yet! Hmm. How high do you think the price will get? Since there is nothing we can do about it...what ideas can you share to get around buy it?

i think what can make the prices of gas rise higher than usual is the buying habit of gas users. some buyers tend to panic buy, or buy more than they usually need, when they knew that the price will rise the next day. i think this is not good because this displays that there is a greater demand for gas than normal. if the demand goes high (and the supply is low) the tendency of producers is to rise the price more. i think there is no need to panic buy. if we buy just regularly, the prices may go up more slowly.

You have a bit to go to get to $10+ a gallon (and rising daily) that we have in the UK. I read that the price could at least double before it starts to level out or come down. But we all know that when the price of crude goes up the pump price follows closely. When crude comes down the pump price drops a little bit! haha
