With the economy kinda sorta picking up, and consumers in China, India and Brazil buying cars in droves, gas prices are expected to keep going up, and may hit $4 a gallon by early spring, when Americans finish scraping the ice off of their windshields and begin planning road trips. And unlike 2008, when gas last broke the $4 barrier, only to later drop to lower prices, $4 may be a new baseline, followed by $5 gas as early as next year.

Gas pricing is based on " what the market will bear " .....nothing else !!!! If everyone used less fuel, the prices would come down for a while, until Big Oil slowed output, and then prices would increase because of reduced supply. I used to do a lot of work for Big Oil....their goal PROFIT...not PEOPLE.
