• Currently there are few things we can do to lower our gas prices since the US actually has very few taxes on our gas in comparison to most other countries.
  One answer is to rely on alternative energy which would lower the demand for gasoline and then decrease the price. We could also try and lower our use of gasoline to lower demand which would lower prices.
  The reason gas is so expensive right now is due to a few factors: weak dollar which relates to oil because it is priced in dollars, increased demand (US oil consumption keeps going up but the real increase is coming from China and India which have so many people and are using more and more gas), the volatility of the region in which we import most of our oil (the Middle East) and the fact that we have either reached peak oil production or will reach that point soon means lower supply of the fuel.
• i actually want gas prices to go higher. just kidding.
  but i am curious to see what will happen if gas goes up to five, six or more dollars gallon. maybe then the world will be filled with people walking and riding bikes and healthier people. plus, there wouldn%26#039;t be less pollution. :] so i guess that maybe having gas prices go higher would be a positive thing

  The government is not going to do much, unfortunately. Getting the gas prices lowered is a dream. Maybe giving the head oil companies a conscience? The government is trying to use other resources like ethonal, but how long will that take and what will the price be compared to what it is now. Think about how much they tax for gasoline what is it 43 cents per gallon, multiply by the millions being pumped per day, can you tell me where it is going? The power of the oil companies are more powerful than the government they are the ones running the show. try making your own fuel.
